Vandoorne ends the season with victory in Berlin

Like Oliver Rowland (Nissan e.Dams) the day before, Stoffel Vandoorne also treated himself to a little health walk at Tempelhof. First on the starting line, the Belgian was also there at the finish. The pilot Mercedes quickly took shelter from his pursuers and was no longer worried about the ordeal. Thanks to this first victory of the season, he finished vice-champion behind António Félix da Costa.

This victory also allows Mercedes-Benz EQ to achieve a double thanks to second position in Nyck de Vries after a nice battle with Sébastien Buemi (Nissan e.Dams). But it was at the rear that things really moved during the race.

Starting 21st after a poor qualifying session, Jean-Éric Vergne (DS Techeetah) made a good comeback and crossed the finish line in 7th position. He thus has 6 points which allowed him to finish third in the drivers' standings. His teammate and winner of the 2019/2020 season ranked 9th after starting from 19th position.

Winner this Wednesday, Oliver Rowland (Nissan e.Dams), last on the starting grid, experienced an ordeal. The Briton was unable to finish the last race of the season due to technical problems.

The sixth season in the history of Formula-E finished, the paddock is already turning towards the first meeting of the seventh campaign. This is scheduled for January 16, 2021 in the Chilean capital, Santiago.
