While Nissan has bagged a single points finish so far in 2023 thanks to an eighth-place result for Fenestraz in the second Diriyah race, McLaren has managed to regularly fight at the front in both qualifying and the race with the same powertrain, with Rene Rast's podium in Saudi Arabia being the highlight of its short FE foray so far.
McLaren, in fact, stands third in the championship heading to the inaugural Hyderabad E-Prix on Saturday, having scored 53 points across the opening three races compared to just four for the factory Nissan team.
