What an exciting ending! The exciting seventh race of the Formula E World Championship! Swiss Edoardo Mortara (35 / Venturi) beat Tempelhofer Field.
The reason: The former DTM driver is very smart. He was driving moderately and ended up having the most power.
Progress has continued to change in the last 12 minutes. 10,000 spectators witnessed a thrilling four-way battle between him, Jean-Eric Vergne (32/France/DS), leader Stoffel Vandoorne (30/Belgium/Mercedes) and Andre Lotterer (40/Porsche), who ended the arrangement.
Vandoorne remained ahead with 96 points, but only three points clear of Virgin. French: Mortara mirrors work great! But I’m also happy to get second place. We have to learn from the race and do better on Sunday.”
There is a new cycle. If Saturday goes counterclockwise, then Sunday (3 pm) will go counterclockwise.
“I was already expecting Fernie to overtake me, but I kept dawdling. Formula E is not going according to plan. You have to keep reinventing yourself,” says Mortara, who fought for his first pole position this season and won on the spot.
So he is back to fight for the championship. Jaguar driver Mitch Evans (27 / New Zealand / 82 points) is fourth with 77 points. The best German is Lotterer in sixth place. But he is already 41 points behind the leader.
