Two out of two for António Félix da Costa in Berlin

Two races, two victories. This is the assessment of António Félix da Costa in Berlin since the resumption of the championship Formula E. The DS Techeetah driver once again won at Tempelhof, signing his third consecutive success this season. Ruthless, the Portuguese had no trouble crossing the finish line first, three seconds ahead of his first pursuer.

Second on the starting grid, Sébastien Buemi (Nissan e.Dams) had a quiet race. The Swiss was never able to tease António Félix da Costa without being worried by the rest of the peloton. Starting sixth, Lucas Di Grassi (Audi) managed to move up the standings and took the third step of the podium after a great fight with Robin Frijns (Envision Virgin Racing), Stoffel Vandoorne (EQ Mercedes) and Sam Bird (Envision Virgin Racing)

Already off to a bad start with an 8th position in qualifying, Jean-Éric Vergne's affairs did not improve during the race. Like this Wednesday, the Frenchman encountered problems and had to fight to stay in the points. He finally took the checkered flag in 10th place.

Thanks to this third consecutive victory, the second in Berlin, António Félix da Costa further extends his lead in the world championship and is fast approaching the world crown. He is 68 lengths ahead of his first pursuer, the Brazilian Lucas Di Grassi.

After two races in two days, the drivers will have a day of rest before returning to the original Tempelhof circuit this Saturday.
