Mahindra Racing's Triumphant Return
De Vries delivered a clinical performance to help Mahindra Racing clinch their first victory in nearly five years and for the first time in Gen3 era.
It was a fifth career win and first since Berlin 2022 for de Vries who finished ahead of Jaguar Racing's Mitch Evans and Cupra Kiro's Pepe Marti.
Strategic Race Management Key to Victory
The Mahindra Racing driver, starting behind pole-sitter Dan Ticktum, topped both the free practice sessions and produced a fine drive while navigating safety cars, full-course yellows, and heavy energy management.
He was one of the first drivers in the race to take a 'pit boost' stop in lap 16 and timed his 'attack mode' activation to go past the then race-leader Antonio Felix da Costa on lap 20.
De Vries battled hard with the challenges along the course of the race but finished it with a clear three-second gap with the cars following behind.
