Berlin. The season finale in the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship is set to be a thriller – with Jake Dennis (GBR) playing a leading role. The BMW i Andretti Motorsport driver finished fifth in Saturday’s race at the BMW i Berlin E-Prix presented by CBMM Niobium (GER), moving up to third in the drivers’ standings. He is just four points away from first place in the battle for the world title. Maximilian Günther (GER) crossed the line in eighth place to score more crucial points for the team championship. BMW i Andretti Motorsport is in sixth position with 157 points, just 14 points behind the leader.
Dennis had dominated both practice sessions on Friday afternoon and Saturday morning, recording the best time in each. He did not manage to reach Super Pole from group one in qualifying, but claimed eighth place on the grid and a good start position. Günther began the race in tenth place.
Both BMW i Andretti Motorsport drivers dropped back a bit at the start, before working their way back into the points with some efficient driving and smart use of Attack Mode. Dennis was battling for third place right to the end and was delighted to have finished fifth, scoring ten points. Victory went to Lucas di Grassi (BRA, Audi).
The 15th and final race of the season is on Sunday at the same location. It will take place on the reversed Berlin-Tempelhof circuit and starts at 15:30 CEST.
