At the Tempelhof Airport circuit in Germany, DS Penske driver finished second in the first race of the weekend. The track had a new layout this time. The race was like typical Formula E races, with a lot of action and changes in position happening frequently.
Vergne didn’t like the kind of racing happening in Formula E. He said, “It’s horrible, honestly, I really don’t like this style of racing, I hate it. I think every driver hates it, but I think it’s the way we have to race. We’re here to compete, we’re here to win. If we have to drive in reverse, we are going to learn how to drive in reverse but it doesn’t mean that I like this kind of racing. It’s truly horrible from a driver’s point of view. You’re watching from the side, behind, above, below, it’s a mess.”
Nick Cassidy won the race, moving back into the lead of the championship standings. He had dropped to the back of the field at the beginning to save energy. But he managed to work his way up to the front and had more energy left than others. Cassidy said the race was like the Daytona 500 and that it was a strange feeling to win because of the chaos. He wished the race was more about pace rather than just surviving the chaos.
