Formula E is a championship I've been around for a while now; having tested on several occasions, I'm excited to now get the opportunity to race. Mahindra Racing is a fantastic team, one of the championship's standout names, and it's clear from their recent results that the new car is a significant step forward. I'm looking forward to working closely with them to prepare for Berlin, and I'm sure we can have a good weekend together." Mahindra Racing Team Principal Frederic Bertrand also added, 'His achievements speak for themselves, and he's been very impressive when he's tested a Formula E car in the past. The benefit of having this confirmed so far in advance is that we have had plenty of time to get him fully integrated with the team, to prepare him properly for the race weekend, and give him the best opportunity to go out and showcase what he can do.
