Oliver Rowland feels he’s best placed to put everything he’s learned in three years in the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship to good use at his new team Mahindra Racing – with the Indian outfit’s ambition, passion, progress and outright pace prime reasons for his switch ahead of Season 8. “I was pretty keen after the end of Season 6 to get things sorted quickly,” said Rowland. There’s been a big step in that department after Seasons 5 and 6. If you look at the averages of both guys where I was last year and the averages here, it was quite similar. I’ve changed a lot since then and things in Formula E have, too. I had more consistency last season, I’ve won races and I’m up there with the number of pole positions over that time too. “I think on my side, things were good in terms of speed last season. If you look at qualifying I was up there in terms of the best but we didn’t have the race pace we needed.
