Kush Maini to drive Mahindra M11Electro GEN3 Evo in Berlin rookie test
Kush Maini will be Mahindra Racing 's ABB FIA Formula E World Championship Rookie Test on Monday, July 14, 2025, in Berlin. Among the conventional Formula E circuits, this testing will be done at the Tempelhof Airport Street Circuit.
The only Indian team in Formula E, Mahindra Racing has once again relied on Kush Maini, one of India's best young racing drivers. Earlier this year, he took part in a Rookie Free Practice session in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, where he set the fastest lap time under the lights in his very first experience with the GEN3 Evo Formula E car.
The 24-year-old also took part in last season’s Rookie Test in Berlin and served as Mahindra’s official Reserve Driver in Season 10. This shows that Mahindra sees real long-term potential in Maini.

Speaking about the upcoming test, Kush Maini said, “I was really impressed with the Mahindra M11Electro in Jeddah, it’s a great car to drive and I can’t wait to experience it again in Berlin," said Kush Maini. “Mahindra is a manufacturer I’ve worked with first-hand a lot over the last 18 months, and I’ve seen the hard work and development that has gone into improving the team’s results on- track”.
He further added, “It’s a great source of pride for me to represent them, and to help them push on and keep that rate of development going.”
Mahindra Racing CEO and Team Principal, Frederic Bertrand, also spoke highly of the young Indian driver. “Kush is clearly one of the most exciting talents. We’ve been very happy with his work and attitude, and we look forward to seeing him drive again on July 14,” Bertrand said.
The second driver for the Berlin Rookie Test will be announced soon.
