The Mahindra Formula E team has confirmed that it will run an unchanged driver line-up for the 2017/18 season, which kicks off in December.
Nick Heidfeld and Felix Rosenqvist helped Mahindra achieve its best finish of third in the Constructors' Standings, with Rosenqvist taking third in the Drivers' with five podiums, including a victory in Germany. Heidfeld also secured five podiums, finishing seventh overall.
The pair will drive the team's M4Electro during Formula E's fourth season and have high hopes of competing for both championships.
"We’re thrilled that both Nick and Felix will remain with Mahindra Racing next season," said team boss Dilbagh Gill. "With them, we’re confident that our new race car, the M4Electro will prove to be our strongest yet and Mahindra will consistently be fighting at the front of the field for wins and championships."
Heidfeld added: "I am proud to be part of Mahindra Racing where we have been going from strength to strength in Formula-E. It's exactly where I want to be and I am delighted to extend my contract and commitment to target even more success. I am thrilled and can't wait to compete in my M4-Electro in this ever-improving championship."
Rosenqvist added: "I’m thrilled to be back for a second season in Formula E and to extend my relationship with Mahindra Racing That was our mutual intention from the very beginning, and we’ve already completed a series of promising tests with the M4Electro in recent months.
"Moving into season four, I will draw on everything I learned in 2016-17 to try and lift us to the next level. It will be a massive challenge with stiff competition, but we have a solid foundation and are all fully committed to taking the fight to the very best."
