Mahindra Racing failed to impress again in Miami after both drivers struggled to make a real impression in the Miami ePrix.

The Mahindra team did not have the best starting positions in Miami after a poor qualifying session. Senna lined up in 15th overall while Chandhok was in 20th position after he was given a ten-place grid penalty for using too much power in qualifying.

The race started well for Senna, as he was able to make up places and find his way into the points scoring positions. However, another suspension failure would cause the end of Senna’s race. That is now two suspension failures in two races for the Mahindra team.

Senna was disappointed when he spoke to the media after the race. “Today was frustrating for me and for the whole team. We suffered suspension failures; one of which took us out of a points paying position. We’ve raced to the points in the past however today just wasn’t one of those days for us. We will continue to push for the next race to turn this around.’

Chandhok did not have a clean race either. The Indian driver was given a drive through penalty, this left the Mahindra driver well outside the points in 14th.

Chandhok made it a duo of disappointed Mahindra drivers is the media pen when he reflected on his race.

‘It was difficult, there isn’t really much more that I can say. We had the potential and were pretty quick this morning, but the pace wasn’t there in the race and obviously the drive through was tough to take as well.’ said Chandhok.

Team Principal Dilbagh Gill is hopeful that the team can turn around this lack of performance in time for the next race in America in three weeks time ‘It was a very disappointing day for the team and it’s a shame to come away for the first time without any points; it’s especially frustrating when we know we have a fast car. However, we will regroup and make sure to come back much stronger in Long Beach.’
