Berlin, Germany – July 12 & 13, 2025 – As the 2025 ABB FIA Formula E World Championship enters its decisive phase, DS PENSKE heads to the German capital for a crucial double-header at the historic Tempelhof Airport. With just four races remaining, the championship battle intensifies—and Berlin could tip the scales. The two races will take place on Saturday, July 12 and Sunday, July 13, both starting at 16:03 local time.
This year’s Berlin E-Prix features a revised track layout: a compact 2.347km circuit weaving through 15 corners, designed to test both precision and performance. Saturday’s race will also feature the much-anticipated pit boost, adding a tactical twist to an already tightly contested weekend.
Currently sitting third in the Teams’ Championship, DS PENSKE is firmly in the title hunt. Drivers Jean-Éric Vergne and Maximilian Günther hold sixth and seventh respectively in the Drivers’ Standings, with everything still up for grabs.
Behind the scenes, the team has been deep in preparation, fine-tuning strategies through extensive simulator work to meet the unique challenges of Tempelhof’s abrasive surface and energy-sensitive layout.
For the German driver, Maximilian Günther, racing on home turf adds an extra layer of drive.
The action continues beyond the weekend. On Monday, July 14, DS PENSKE will join the official Formula E Rookie Test, giving top-level talents the opportunity to experience the DS E-TENSE FE25 on track. Nikita Bedrin and Daniil Kvyat will represent the team for the session, gaining valuable mileage and insight behind the wheel of the Gen3 Evo car.
With momentum, motivation, and the championship on the line, DS PENSKE approaches the Berlin double-header with laser focus. There are no certainties—only opportunity.
Maximilian Günther – DS PENSKE driver
‘Racing in Berlin is always iconic. It is my home race and I can really feel the support from the crowd. The lap is very short around here, qualifying will be tight and every detail matters. The races provide great overtaking opportunities and together with the pitboost we will have some exciting racing here. We feel ready and I look forward to race in front of the many German fans again.’
Jean-Éric Vergne, DS PENSKE Driver – 2018 & 2019 Formula E Champion
‘So excited to be back in Berlin. This part of the season is where consistency and execution really matter. We have been in the flight all year, and Berlin is a track where we have shown strength before. With the revised layout and the pit boost coming back, it is going to be a very tactical weekend. WE have done the work in the simulator, now we need to keep our heads down and score strong points. We are all pushing in the same direction!’
