Holding third in the championship in Germany, the Franco-American team's goal was to maintain its position. The goal was achieved thanks to the exceptional performance of Jean-Eric Vergne, who finished third after starting from 18th on the grid.
On this second day on the historic Tempelhof Airport circuit in Berlin, the Formula E World Championship first had to contend with low, rain-laden skies. So much so that the third practice session – the only one of the day – started 40 minutes late, before being cut short by a red flag following Lucas di Grassi's crash in his Lola Yamaha Abt. Unlucky the day before, after suffering a suspension failure (common to all cars), Vergne returned to the track cautiously and set the eighth-fastest time.
