Mahindra Racing's London Teams' Championship Fight Gets Tougher
Imagine a big car race where teams of two drivers each try to score points.
In London, the very last races of the season are happening.
Mahindra Racing is one of the teams, and they wanted to finish third overall.
Before the race they were only one point behind the Andretti team.
But after the race, they are 13 points behind, which makes their goal harder.
One Mahindra driver, Edoardo Mortara, started 18th and drove really well, finishing fifth.
He got a time penalty though, which moved him down to seventh.
His teammate Nyck de Vries finished outside the points.
Other teams like Jaguar and Porsche are ahead in the standings.
There is one more race tomorrow, so Mahindra still has a chance to improve.
Mahindra Racing came into the opening race of the Formula E Season 12 final just one point behind Andretti, but now trails third place by 13 points.
Edoardo Mortara recovered from 18th on the grid to fifth, before a five-second time penalty dropped him to seventh.
Nyck de Vries slipped from P9 to P13, finishing outside the points.
Jaguar TCS Racing leads the Teams' Championship with 276 points, with Porsche Formula E Team close behind on 271.
Pascal Wehrlein leads the Drivers' Championship with 169 points, ahead of Jake Dennis on 164, heading into the final race.
