Early Career

Born in Geneva in 1987, the Swiss-Italian driver first stepped up to Formula racing in 2006, starting out in Formula Renault, before graduating to the Formula Three Euroseries. As a former champion in the series, Mortara was one of two drivers to win the prestigious Macau Grand Prix twice, having achieved back-to-back victories in 2009 and 2010.

Moving to the German DTM Championship in 2011, Mortara competed in the series until his Formula E debut.

Formula E Debut

Mortara joined with the Venturi Formula E team ahead of the 2017/18 season. After a promising start to the season when he finished second in Hong Kong in only his second Formula E race, the Swiss driver fell back, finishing the season in 13th place.

Staying on for a second season with the Monegasque team, Mortara was partnered with seasoned race driver Felipe Massa and new Team Principal Susie Wolff in the 2018/19 season. Together, the pair rounded off the season in 14th (Mortara) and 15th (Massa), ranking eighth overall.

Formula E | Season 6 - 9

In his third season in the series, Mortara once again lined up alongside Massa. With Venturi now powered by Mercedes-Benz EQ, Mortara challenged the factory outfits in 2019/20. The Swiss driver had some consistent top-ten finishes last season, scoring points in seven of the 11 rounds.

Mortara finished second in the Drivers' standings in his fourth campaign with Venturi, narrowly missing out at the last in dramatic fashion in the finale at Berlin's Tempelhof Airport Circuit.

A victory in Puebla came alongside podiums in Diriyah and Berlin, with the Swiss-Italian winding up just seven points shy of eventual World Champion Nyck de Vries (Mercedes-EQ) - there was that pass in Diriyah, too.

Mortara remained with ROKiT Venturi Racing alongside new teammate Lucas di Grassi for GEN2’s swansong Season 8. The Swiss-French-Italian was looking to go one better to round out GEN2 but despite four race wins, he narrowly succumbed to Mercedes-EQ factory driver Stoffel Vandoorne. Mortara proved himself once again, however, to be one of the quickest guys out there on any given race day.

Season 9 was a fresh look for Mortara with Maserati MSG Racing. Unfortunately, he could not capture the form from the previous two championship-contending runs for the Swiss-Italian. He only picked up seven-point finishes across the inaugural GEN3 campaign on the way to 14th in the Drivers' standings.

Formula E | Season 10 & 11

It's a new challenge for Mortara in Season 10 as he jumped over to Mahindra Racing to join an all-new line-up for the Indian marque alongside returning champion Nyck de Vries. Mahindra started the season slowly, failing to score points in the opening eight races, but Mortara ended their duck with a sensational pole position in Round 9 in Berlin and eighth in the same race.

In a year marked by a learning curve for Mahindra, Mortara will continue with the Indian manufacturer as the series prepares for the GEN3 Evo era.
