Envision Racing aim to capitalise on momentum in the German capital
Envision Racing return to Berlin for the penultimate double-header of Season 11, with Rounds 13 and 14 of the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship taking place at the iconic Tempelhof Airport circuit.
The team arrives in Germany with a renewed boost following a successful FIA hearing after the Jakarta E-Prix. Sebastien Buemi’s third-place finish, initially stripped due to a five-second penalty, was reinstated after new evidence led to the penalty being overturned. The reclaimed podium not only rewards Buemi’s performance but also tightens the team standings in the mid-pack, with just over 20 points separating five contenders heading into the final two race weekends.
Berlin holds a special place in Formula E history, having hosted a race in every season since the series’ inception in 2014. The circuit—laid out across the concrete slabs of the historic Tempelhof Airport—is known for its abrasive surface and ever-changing grip levels, creating unique challenges for teams and drivers alike.
THE CIRCUIT
Spanning 2.3km with 15 turns, the Tempelhof layout has consistently delivered some of Formula E’s most memorable races. Known for its fast, flowing layout and multiple overtaking zones, Berlin rewards efficient energy management and bold race strategy.
A new twist for 2025: Pit Boost makes its Berlin debut during Saturday’s race. This innovative Season 11 feature allows drivers a mandatory 30-second, 600kW pit-lane boost—providing an additional 10% energy (3.85kWh)—which could prove decisive in a race expected to be rich in strategic variation.
WHAT OUR DRIVERS HAVE TO SAY
Sebastien Buemi: ““I am really looking forward to the weekend in Berlin, it will be a great opportunity for us to score more good points as the season approaches the final races. It was great to get the podium back in Jakarta, but now full focus is on making sure we continue the momentum in Berlin.
I’ve enjoyed a lot of success over the years at this circuit and will be aiming to add to that this week.”
Robin Frijns: “We have been on good form lately, scoring points in most races, so heading into Berlin we are feeling confident to continue that and work our way up the order. The races in Berlin are usually chaotic so it will be very important to get the strategy right and maximise on the opportunities to get the best result possible.”
