Following 2016’s sensation when ‘Boaty McBoatface’ topped a public vote to name a polar ship, only 💜to be called RRS Sir David Attenborough by organisers, the Indian team has looked to emulate the trend in its own public vote to name its two cars.
While Jerome d’Ambrosio’s Spark-Mahindra gained the name ‘Falcon’, ꧃the #94 which will be raced by Felix Rosenqvist at the season opener in Saudi Arabia will be known as ‘Electro McE🎀lectroFace’.
Rosenqvist steps in at Mahindra for the first race of the year with full-time driver Pascal Wehrlein unavailable for the Saudi Arabia round due to contract commitments. Rosenqvis﷽t will leave Formula E in 2019 ahead of his IndyCar switch with Chip Ganassi Racing.
The ‘Gen2’ era of Formula E gets underway this weekend with the Ad Diriyah ePrix on December 15th to kick-off the 13-race season which wraps up in New York with a double-header across July 13th-14th.
