For Mahindra Racing, it was quite a disappointing weekend, as the two free practice sessions saw Oliver Rowland set fifteenth and eight fastest laps, respectively, and Alexander Sims nineteenth and seventeenth. Later that day, the pair went out for qualifying, with Alex missing the duels by only 0.03 seconds. Oliver, who made it to both duels in Saudi Arabia, also had to pull out of the new knock-out event this time around. While the race ended early for Sims who touched the wall, Oliver took a gamble with energy consumption and Britt heroically pushed through the pack to climb to eight. However, the offensive strategy did not work when the leader forced an extra lap, and he dropped back to sixteenth before the checkered flag.
