Grid penalty for Max Günther! All Formula E penalties at the Berlin E-Prix at a glance

At the Berlin E-Prix, as at every race of the Formula E World Championship, it is the task of the race stewards of the FIA to check compliance with the Technical and Sporting Regulations. If they find an offence, it is their job to determine the penalty. As usual, you will find a list of all the weekend's decisions in this article.

At the Berlin E-Prix 2026, the chairman of the stewards Loic Bacquelaine, the international steward Mathieu Remmerie and the national steward Yasin Özer will take on this task. They will be supported by former racing driver Alex Yoong. Malaysian-born Yoong also spent two years in Formula 1 during his motorsport career, where he drove for the Minardi team.
