Mitch Evans produced a stunning drive through the field to claim victory in a dramatic Berlin E-Prix, rising from 17th on the grid to take the chequered flag for Jaguar TCS Racing.
Evans started at the rear of the field, but he carefully conserved energy while others battled ahead. This patient approach paid dividends, with the Jaguar driver at one stage holding a significant energy advantage of around five percent over his rivals.
Evans made his decisive move using a six-minute Attack Mode, slicing through the pack and eventually taking the lead.
He won the race when he activated his second, shorter Attack Mode just as a Full Course Yellow was deployed. This neutralisation prevented chasing drivers from fully utilising their own remaining Attack Mode time, effectively securing Evans’ advantage at the front.
With no added laps after the interruption, the race concluded in a tense sprint to the finish between Evans, Oliver Rowland, and Pascal Wehrlein. Evans held firm under pressure to seal an impressive and tactical victory.
Rowland crossed the line in second place, although his position briefly came under scrutiny for a potential overtake under yellow flags. However, the incident occurred under a slippery surface flag rather than a full yellow, meaning overtaking was permitted. As a result, his runner-up finish stands, with Wehrlein completing the podium in third.
Sébastien Buemi finished fourth after a consistent race, ahead of Norman Nato, who had earlier led following the first round of Attack Mode but dropped back during his second activation phase.
Jake Dennis secured sixth place, followed by Edoardo Mortara in seventh. Jean-Éric Vergne finished eighth, with Felipe Drugovich taking ninth for Andretti Formula E. Marcus Ericsson rounded out the top ten.
Just outside the points, Taylor Barnard endured a frustrating race, finishing 11th after starting on the front row for DS Penske. Pepe Martí came home 12th, ahead of previous race winner Nico Müller.
Further down the order, Dan Ticktum finished 14th, followed by Maximilian Günther and Lucas di Grassi. Zane Maloney was 17th, while António Félix da Costa ended 18th after a collision with Müller that damaged his front wing.
The race also featured multiple incidents. Nick Cassidy endured a difficult outing, first making contact with Nyck de Vries—an incident that left de Vries with a broken front suspension—and later colliding with Buemi after an unexpected slowdown, ultimately forcing Cassidy into retirement.
