Mahindra Racing seals double podium in London, finishes third in Formula E Teams’ Championship · CNBC TV 18

Formula E is a racing championship for cars that run on electric power.

The last race of the season took place in London.

A team called Mahindra Racing had a very good day.

Both of its drivers, Nyck de Vries and Edoardo Mortara, started at the very front of the race after locking out the front row in qualifying.

They led most of the race, but a driver named Taylor Barnard overtook them near the end.

Mahindra's drivers still finished in second and third place.

That is called a 'double podium,' which means two drivers stand on the winner's stage together.

Because of this result, Mahindra finished the season in third place among all the teams.

The team earned 252 points, the most it has ever scored in one season.

Next season, Mahindra will race with brand-new Gen4 cars, and fans are excited to see what happens.
