CASSIDY AND VERGNE RETURN TO BERLIN STRONGHOLD AS CITROËN RACING FORMULA E TEAM EYES DOUBLE POINTS HAUL

• Berlin’s Tempelhof circuit hosts a pivotal double-header (Rounds 7 & 8) at the halfway point of the season, offering a key opportunity for Citroën Racing to maximise championship points
• Nick Cassidy returns to Berlin as the most recent race winner at Tempelhof, with three victories at the circuit (2023, 2024, 2025) one for each year of GEN 3
• Jean-Éric Vergne holds the record for the most pole positions, and more podium finishes in Berlin Formula E history

The FIA ABB Formula E World Championship heads to Germany next week as Berlin’s iconic Tempelhof Airport once again plays host to Rounds 7 and 8 of Season 12. Set against the backdrop of the historic converted airfield, the 2.374-kilometre circuit is renowned for its abrasive surface, technical layout, and unpredictable, energy-sensitive racing, hallmarks that consistently deliver some of the most strategic race contests on the calendar.

Berlin has historically been a favourable venue for both Citroën Racing drivers. Cassidy has been one of the standout performers at Tempelhof in recent years, taking three victories at the circuit (2023, 2024 and 2025). Meanwhile, Jean-Éric Vergne, a two-time Formula E champion, holds the record for the most pole positions (4) and the most podium finishes in Berlin (8), underlining his consistency and strength at the venue.

The Berlin E-Prix double-header will present two distinct strategic challenges across the weekend. Round 7, taking place on Saturday 2nd May, will feature Pit Boost alongside a single six-minute Attack Mode activation, placing a premium on energy management, timing, and adaptability. The introduction of Pit Boost is expected to shake up the characteristic “peloton-style” racing often seen in Berlin, creating more dynamic race scenarios and opportunities for bold strategic calls.

In contrast, Round 8 on Sunday 3rd May will see a more traditional format, without Pit Boost, but with eight minutes of Attack Mode available for teams to deploy at their discretion. This variation across the two races ensures a demanding and multifaceted weekend for teams and drivers alike.

Citroën Racing arrives in Berlin building on a strong start to the season. The team celebrated an early milestone with Nick Cassidy securing a podium finish in the opening round in São Paulo, followed by a standout victory in Mexico. With consistent performances and growing momentum, the team sits well-positioned as the championship enters a crucial phase. Double-header weekends such as Berlin offer a significant opportunity to maximise points haul and strengthen championship standings.

With two races, evolving strategies, and championship momentum on the line, Citroën Racing Formula E Team heads to Berlin determined to capitalise on every opportunity at one of Formula E’s most demanding venues.

Citroën Racing Formula E Team Principal Cyril Blais said: 

“Berlin is always a pivotal moment in the season, particularly as a double-header. The combination of Pit Boost on Saturday with the Attack Mode strategy adds complexity and opens the door for strategic differentiation. We’ve shown strong performance potential so far this season, with key highlights including Nick’s podium in São Paulo and our win in Mexico. We’ve also had some tougher weekends, so the focus during the break has been on understanding where we can improve. The objective now is consistency and maximising every opportunity across both races. The team is focused and ready for the challenge.”

Citroën Racing Formula E Team Driver Nick Cassidy said:

“I’m really looking forward to being back in Berlin with the team this weekend. It feels like it’s been a big break, so I’m excited to get back racing. Berlin has been a track that’s treated me well in the GEN 3 era of Formula E, and I’m hoping that can continue this weekend. It’s always a unique challenge with the surface and the way races develop in big groups, and with Pit Boost in play on Saturday, strategy will be more important than ever. Double-header weekends are a great opportunity to score strong points, so the focus is on executing well across both races.”

Citroën Racing Formula E Team Driver Jean-Éric Vergne:

“Tempelhof is one of the most technical tracks we visit, and it really rewards efficiency and precision. The variation between the two races this weekend will keep everyone on their toes. Historically, I’ve had strong performances here, and the goal is to convert that into consistent points across both days. The team has been working hard, and we’re in a good place heading into Berlin.”
