Race Notes
- Track action resumed this morning at the Tempelhof Street Circuit with Free Practice 3 as Felipe Drugovich and Jake Dennis mirrored their results from yesterday’s first practice session finishing ninth and 10th, respectively.
- The Andretti duo were split across the two qualifying groups with Drugovich advancing to the Duels though teammate Dennis was unable to do so. Achieving Andretti’s 46th Duel appearance, the Brazilian was bettered by DS Penske’s Taylor Barnard in the Quarterfinal.
- Dennis opted for a similar strategy to yesterday’s E-Prix by saving energy at the rear of the field, while those ahead fought for positions in the top 10. One of those in that battle up the front was Drugovich, who bounced up and down the points-paying positions while trying to drive as efficiently as possible.
- While Dennis remained at the back of the field for the majority of the E-Prix, he was able to use his final Attack Mode and surplus of energy to fight his way toward the front. The Season 9 World Champion was making solid progress up into sixth however, with one minute of the extra 50kWh of power remaining, a Full Course Yellow was deployed on Lap 35 due to debris from an incident involving Porshce’s Nico Mueller and Jaguar’s António Félix da Costa, rendering his remaining Attack Mode unusable. As a result, Dennis would remain in sixth until the checkered.
- Meanwhile, while those around him took their first Attack Modes, Drugovich dropped backwards in order to conserve. Having built up a positive delta of energy, the Brazilian was able to use his final Attack Mode to climb from 17th on Lap 31 into ninth to take his first points with Andretti.
- Andretti Formula E’s double-points finish marks the team’s 138th top-10 finish and closes the gap to sixth in the Team’s Championship standings.

Qualifying
- Dennis ran in Group B and missed out on the Duels, reproducing his result from yesterday’s session by finishing seventh overall.
- The British driver was promoted to sixth in the group post-session after Penske’s Maximilian Günther impeded Car 27 at the exit of Turn 5.
Race
- Up until Dennis’ first Attack Mode on Lap 22, the No. 27 remained in 14th and strategically saved more energy than those ahead, building a four-percent surplus of energy on the rest of the field by Lap 15.
- The Brit used his first Attack Mode to break into the top 10 before opting for a late second activation, dropping to 13th as rivals cycled through with their earlier extra 50kWh.
- With more usable Attack Mode time in hand, Dennis charged from 13th to sixth, but a late Full Course Yellow prevented him from fully deploying the remaining power, forcing him to settle for sixth at the checkered.
- Dennis’ sixth-place finish today is his 57th top 10 from his 87 Formula E race starts.
“A sixth-place finish for us today and I think we maximized the race with the situation we were in, but ultimately we’re still looking for a little bit more. We were smart when it mattered and quick enough when we needed to be though it seemed the efficiency wasn’t there. It looked like we were on a smiliar strategy to the leaders in terms of Oliver [Rowland] and Mitch [Evans], but we couldn’t quite execute it as well as we should have. Nonetheless, to come away from the weekend with a 19 points is something we can be happy with.”

Qualifying
- Once again, Drugovich was able to advance into the Duels, confirming his third Duel appearance in his career to date.
- The Brazilian driver was beaten by DS’ Barnard in his Quarterfinal Duel.
Race
- Starting from seventh, Drugovich remained in the points-paying positions during the opening phase of the E-Prix and ran as high as second as drivers constantly swapped positions to not overspend energy.
- The Brazilian took his first Attack Mode on Lap 17 and dropped down to 17th, though was able to fight back up into eighth in an efficient manner to protect his energy levels.
- Similarly to Dennis, a later second Attack Mode activation meant that Drugovich had dropped to 16th as those around him used their extra power. In doing so, the No. 28 was able to use his activation to catch and pass those cars ahead of him that had ran out of Attack and secure his first Championship points of the season in ninth.
- Drugovich’s result marks his second top-10 finish in Formula E, with his last points also coming from Berlin last season.
“First points for the team and I think it’s a good start and foundation for us to build from. Hopefully this is where we start scoring more and fighting at the front of the field. Qualifying this weekend has gone well and so to be able to convert that into points today is satisfying. Overall, it was a good race from our side considering how complicated these energy races can be and I don’t think there was much we could have done differently. We’ll analyze everything from this weekend and aim to utilize the learnings in Monaco.”
Roger Griffiths
Team Principal
“A fairly positive day for the team with Felipe getting his first points with us. I think he learnt a lot from yesterday’s race and drove with a lot of maturity today. He did a smart job in saving energy and defended his position well when he needed to, especially considering how robust the racing was.
For Jake, we were a little unlucky with the late Full Course Yellow which potentially cost us a couple more positions, as well as for Felipe. Regardless, he did well to get up into the top six and bring home more points. Today is our first double-points finish since Monaco last season, so hopefully this sets us up for a strong second half of the season.
We’d also like to thank Porsche Motorsport for the opportunity to have our Team Ambassador, Nerea Martí, drive the iconic 962. It was a really special moment for us as a team and we’re truly grateful to Porsche for making it happen.”
