Edoardo Mortara

Edoardo Alberto Gérard "Edo" Mortara (born 12 January 1987) is a Swiss-Italian-French professional racing driver currently competing in Formula E for Mahindra Racing and in the IMSA SportsCar Championship for Lamborghini Iron Lynx. Born in Geneva, Switzerland, he holds triple nationality from all three countries. He is a former Formula Three Euroseries champion and he almost claimed the DTM title with Audi in 2016. In 2021 and 2022, he finished in 2nd and then 3rd overall in the FIA Formula E World Companionship. He is a street circuit specialist and renowned as "Mr Macau". He last raced in the Formula E championship for the Maserati MSG Team.

He is renowned as "Mr Macau" as he has amassed ten wins (with seven overall victories) in Macau from 2008 to 2017 in F3 and GT races. These wins include 2008 F3 Qualification Race, 2009 F3 Main Race, 2010 F3 Qualification Race and Main Race, 2011, 2012, 2013 Macau GT Races, 2013 Audi R8 LMS Race and 2017 Macau GT World Cup Qualification Race and Main Race. This is a record for any driver or rider in Macau up to date.

He was also ranked 38th and 15th by the famous "Autosport" magazine as one of the top 50 drivers in the world in 2021 and 2022 respectively.

In 2017–2018, he drove for the Venturi Formula E Team. In the first weekend of his Formula E races in Hong Kong, his performances stood out as a rookie as he finished seventh after charging from the field in the first race. And in the second race, he led most of the race until a spin which cost him the victory. However, he still finished in second place and claimed the best-ever result for the Venturi team in FE season 4.

In the 2018–2019 season, he claimed a podium finish in Mexico and his first ever FE victory in Hong Kong on 10 March 2019. After his win, a string of bad luck and poor reliability had put Edo out of the championship contention. Despite these problems, he still finished season 5 as the highest-placed Venturi powertrain driver with 52 points (Massa 36 points, Vandoorne 35 points and Paffett 9 points).

In the 2019–2020 season, he performed consistently and finished in the points in 7 out of 11 races. His best result was a 4th place in Diriyah. Overall, he finished season 6 with 41 points and comprehensively outscore his teammate Felipe Massa by 41–3 points.

In the 2020–2021 season, he took a win in the Puebla ePrix and 3 more podium finishes. He finished the season strongly as the Vice-Champion with 92 points.

In the 2021–2022 season, he finished third in the overall standing with 169 points as he took 4 wins, 2 more podiums, 2 pole positions and 2 fastest lap awards in season 8 races.

In the 2022–2023 season, Mortara endured a difficult year with the newly-formed Maserati Team. The restructured management and technical team were not working well with him right from the beginning of their partnership, especially after the departure of team principal Jerome d'Ambrosio. On 27 September, it was announced that Edo would end his partnership with Maserati early and he opted to sign for Mahindra Racing on a multi-year deal. Provided by Wikipedia
