Qualifying controversy was followed by title favourite Sebastien Buemi enduring a difficult race… The Formula E championship battle just took a fascinating turn.
Dario Franchitti has been walking the circuit with the drivers, getting all the latest news on the condition of the track, and its unique challenges, ahead of tomorrow’s race.
Here is a clip from the 1981 Formula One GP in Los Angeles:
The Berlin ePrix will take place on a new bespoke track in the heart of the German capital on May 21. The 2.030km circuit, which remains subject to approval from the Berlin city authorities, and FIA track homologation, will feature 11 turns and wind its way around Strausberger Platz and towards Alexanderplatz with the pitlane on Karl-Marx-Allee. All relevant parties are working hard on the approval of the new location so the event will take place in Berlin in 2016.
What are the major differences between F1 and Formula E? Here’s a quick explainer.
It will be an all yellow-and-blue front row for this afternoon’s SWUSP Beijing ePrix after Sebastien Buemi beat Renault-e.dams team-mate Nico Prost to claim the first ever Julius Baer Super Pole.
After the pace the Renault-e.dams drivers had shown in practice and the previous test session, it was no surprise that they were on top, but they were split during the group sessions by DS Virgin’s Jean-Eric Vergne.
However, in the one-lap shoot-out between the top five, the Frenchman had a huge lock-up and overshot the corner. This left him as the slowest of the five runners and he will start from the third row.
Nick Heidfeld did an excellent job to get his Mahindra into Super Pole and the German will start third for the race. However, his best lap of 1:38.339s was over a second down on Buemi.
Lucas di Grassi was the fifth member of the Super Pole quintet and the first to go out. He too had a big lock-up, but was at least able to make the corner and starts fourth.
Places 6-18 – the Trulli cars were not entered for the race – were decided by the group stages. A great effort by Stephane Sarrazin took the Venturi driver to the fringes of the top five and he’ll start sixth for Venturi.
Bruno Senna will line-up seventh for Mahindra alongside Loic Duval’s Dragon. Sam Bird was the ninth fastest man in the group stages, while Jerome D’Ambrosio completes the top 10 for Dragon.
After a tough couple of practice sessions, things didn’t improve much for Nelson Piquet Jr, and the reigning champion will start 18th and last for NEXTEV TCR’s home race.
