Just behind, J\u00e9r\u00f4me d’Ambrosio took advantage of a slightly slowed Jean-\u00c9ric Vergne, who had tried to attack Turvey, to take the third position. The only incident to note involved Felix Rosenqvist, who went wide and lost a few positions. Know that Sam Bird quickly managed to climb to seventh place.<\/p>\n Jean-\u00c9ric Vergne quickly regained the third place in the race by overtaking J\u00e9r\u00f4me d’Ambrosio. Lucas Di Grassi also tried to take advantage without success, even having a slight contact with the Belgian.<\/p>\n We go green in Berlin for the 2018 BMW i #BerlinEPrix<\/a>! pic.twitter.com\/G3CsWReClF<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 ABB Formula E (@FIAFormulaE) 19 mai 2018<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n Finally, the Brazilian from Audi managed to pass d’Ambrosio at the hairpin a lap later. Unfortunately for the Dragon driver, things didn’t improve as S\u00e9bastien Buemi took his fifth position a few moments later. Subsequently, things heated up for the seventh position between Mitch Evans and Sam Bird, with Evans managing to overtake the DS Virgin driver by cutting in quite energetically in front of him. On the seventh lap, Jean-\u00c9ric Vergne had caught up to Oliver Turvey.<\/p>\n In the tenth lap, Nick Heidfeld entered the top 10 at the expense of Tom Dillmann in his Venturi. But more interestingly, championship leader Vergne lost two places in succession to Lucas Di Grassi and S\u00e9bastien Buemi. Up front, Daniel Abt had nearly a four-second lead.<\/p>\n Things continued to go well for the Audi clan as Di Grassi quickly took over the second position previously held by Turvey. In the fourteenth lap, Mitch Evans gained an extra spot by overtaking J\u00e9r\u00f4me d’Ambrosio for the sixth position in the race. Meanwhile, Jean-\u00c9ric Vergne was persistent against S\u00e9bastien Buemi in trying to reclaim the fourth position, but without success at that moment.<\/p>\n After 20 laps, Daniel Abt was still firmly in the lead, but his teammate Di Grassi was also proving to be very fast on the track. Meanwhile, Vergne got the upper hand on Buemi for fourth place by overtaking the Swiss driver in the first snail curve with a strong contact on the Renault.<\/p>\n At the end of the twenty-second lap, Oliver Turvey initiated the pit stop sequence just ahead of J\u00e9r\u00f4me d’Ambrosio, Jos\u00e9 Maria Lopez, Nick Heidfeld, Felix Rosenqvist, and St\u00e9phane Sarrazin. A lap later, it was time for the race leader to stop and switch to a different car. The German was quickly followed by his teammate Lucas Di Grassi, Jean-\u00c9ric Vergne, S\u00e9bastien Buemi, Mitch Evans, Sam Bird, Andr\u00e9 Lotterer, Maro Engel, Tom Dillmann, Nelson Piquet, Felix Rosenqvist, Luca Filippi, Antonio F\u00e9lix Da Costa, and finally Alex Lynn.<\/p>\n After the stops, Daniel Abt, who lost a few seconds in the pits, emerged just ahead of his teammate and S\u00e9bastien Buemi, who rejoined in front of Jean-\u00c9ric Vergne. Behind them, there were no changes in the top 10 standings, with Mitch Evans, Sam Bird, Andr\u00e9 Lotterer, and Maro Engel in order. However, Nick Heidfeld reclaimed the final point from Maro Engel a few hectometers after exiting the pits.<\/p>\n It was therefore a fratricidal duel between Audi drivers looming for the victory. The two protagonists had nearly eight seconds of advantage over Turvey in third place. By the thirty-third lap, the battles were mainly at the back of the pack, although Sam Bird managed to climb to seventh place ahead of J\u00e9r\u00f4me d’Ambrosio. Meanwhile, Jos\u00e9 Maria Lopez had managed to climb back into the points. At Dragon, the two drivers, J\u00e9r\u00f4me d’Ambrosio and Jos\u00e9 Maria Lopez, were fighting tooth and nail for eighth place before the Argentine dropped back. Moreover, the last spots in the top 10 behind Sam Bird were highly contested at this point in the race.<\/p>\n With ten laps to go, Oliver Turvey in his NIO was losing ground, giving up his third position to S\u00e9bastien Buemi and then fourth to Jean-\u00c9ric Vergne at the line. The battle for the third step on the podium continued to be dynamic. Indeed, the French driver from Techeetah managed to narrowly overtake the Swiss driver a few moments later. Further down the standings, J\u00e9r\u00f4me d’Ambrosio was struggling painfully after a promising start to the race and qualifying. This allowed the Frenchman Tom Dillmann, replacing Edoardo Mortara for this ePrix, to enter the green zone.<\/p>\n .@JeanEricVergne<\/a> getting his elbows out to make his way past @Sebastien_buemi<\/a> \ud83d\ude2c #BerlinEPrix<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/0gMVKUhuc3<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 ABB Formula E (@FIAFormulaE) 19 mai 2018<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n With five laps to go, positions were starting to solidify, but S\u00e9bastien Buemi remained close to Jean-\u00c9ric Vergne, allowing him to attempt an attack in the final laps. In the penultimate lap, Nelson Piquet tried to overtake Jos\u00e9 Mar\u00eda L\u00f3pez but braked too hard, forcing him off the track momentarily. L\u00f3pez spun a few meters later, relegating them to the back of the pack.<\/p>\n A 1-2 for @audiformulae<\/a> in Berlin and a full house for @Daniel_Abt<\/a>, pole, Visa Fastest Lap and the win! #BerlinEPrix<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/O3NDrdjLVR<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 ABB Formula E (@FIAFormulaE) 19 mai 2018<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n At the end of the race, Daniel Abt secured his second victory in the discipline at home in a very fine manner. He led a nice Audi one-two at home as Lucas Di Grassi finished right behind. In the end, Jean-\u00c9ric Vergne managed to stay on the podium ahead of S\u00e9bastien Buemi. Just behind, there was Oliver Turvey in front of Mitch Evans and the championship runner-up Sam Bird. For the minor places, Maro Engel was ahead of Andr\u00e9 Lotterer who came back strongly. The last point went to Nick Heidfeld. Ultimately, Tom Dillmann could not score a point, finishing in thirteenth place, while Nicolas Prost ended up fourteenth and Sarrazin finished last.<\/p>\n To be complete, here is the full ranking of this race:<\/p>\n #ABBFormulaE<\/a> Results #BerlinEPrix<\/a> 1-2 for @audiformulae<\/a> !
