Mahindra Racing took a historical podium and double-points finish at the 2017 FIA Formula E Monaco ePrix on Saturday. Nick Heidfeld steered his M3Electro to a superb third place, followed by his teammate Felix Rosenqvist in sixth after 51 laps.
The double-points finish is the best ever recorded by the team in the fully electric championship's three-year history.
"The day finished well for us eventually. After my qualifying lap, I was second, but the next groups were quicker and I had to start from P8. It was awesome to go around on the outside at the start and gain three places from eighth place, but I had to make sure I wasn't in a dangerous position for turn two and slot back in," Heidfeld said.
Heidfeld's podium, just three days after the German celebrated his 40th birthday, is his fourth in as many series on Monaco street circuits after Formula One in 2005, International Formula 3000 in 1998 and Formula Three in 1997.
Mahindra Racing heads straight to Paris for the next round of the FIA Formula E Championship where the team has just a few days to prepare for another tough challenge on the French cobbled streets around Les Invalides.
