After their third and fourth place finishes in Monaco a fortnight ago, Vandoorne and Vergne arrived in Berlin with the firm intention of taking another big points tally. And they did, on the very first race!
It's true that the two members of the DS Penske Team know the track inside out, as Berlin is the only city to have featured on the championship calendar since its inception. This time, however, the route laid out by the organisers is a new one, 2.3km long with 15 bends, the Berlin circuit also has the unusual feature of being covered in 'runway' type concrete.
