About this episode
The episode discusses the Berlin E-Prix races, highlighting key performances and strategies of various drivers and teams.
Two very different Berlin E-Prixs are mulled over by Sam Smith and Val Khorounzhiy as the 2026 ABB FIA Formula E World Championship approached the halfway point at the unique Tempelhof circuit. Nico Mueller finally broke through in to the winner’s circle after 68 attempts, while Mitch Evans re-affirmed his title threat with a second win of the season for Jaguar, via an audacious tyre and early energy save strategy. But Pascal Wehrlein’s pole and third place in the second of the double-headers ensured that Porsche were the big winners and continue to hold the lead in all three of the title chases. A bumper segment of The Stat Pack powered by Infosys sees a deep dive in to how Mitch Evans maximised his and Jaguar’s strategy and also the key traits of Mueller’s victory. Also picked over are some classic Formula E staples such as Dan Ticktum’s latest rants, Oliver Rowland’s ascent up the order to grab two podiums and the increasing poor form of DS Penske who continue their uncharacteristic points slump.
