Nick Cassidy secured victory in Berlin, while Oliver Rowland clinched the Formula E World Championship after finishing fourth, with Pascal Wehrlein down in 16th.
The Porsche drivers dominated the early stages of the race, but they overconsumed energy, which turned the tide. Instead of cutting into Rowland’s lead, Wehrlein became a sitting duck and dropped down the order.
Rowland used his Attack Modes to climb through the field. The Brit started eighth and was stuck in seventh during the early laps.
He took his first Attack Mode and powered his way to the front but then dropped back to fourth as the jostling for positions continued in typical pack-style racing.
Rowland then opted for his second Attack Mode early and surged back into the lead. However, he couldn’t hold the position, as Cassidy, Dennis, and Vergne passed him while using their own second Attack Modes.
With Wehrlein out of the points, Rowland only needed to finish fourth to secure the championship — and that’s exactly what he did.
Cassidy won the race from 20th on the grid, using the same strategy that brought him success in Berlin last season: saving energy and timing his Attack Modes perfectly to charge to the front.
Jake Dennis finished second for Andretti, with Jean-Éric Vergne completing the podium in third.
Rowland ended the race in fourth, ahead of Mitch Evans and Taylor Barnard, who had an intense battle in the closing laps — one that the Jaguar driver was able to win to finish fifth.
Felipe Drugovich came home in seventh place on his debut weekend for Mahindra Racing. Nico Müller finished eighth despite a crash with Sam Bird during the race.
Antonio Félix da Costa picked up two points for Porsche after finishing ninth.
Sérgio Sette Câmara collected a point for Nissan in his return to the series this weekend in Berlin.
