Facts & figures: The best statistics on the 2026 Formula E races in Berlin

Last weekend, Formula E held its races 7 and 8 of the 2025/26 season on the site of the former airport in Berlin-Tempelhof. The Berlin E-Prix produced some interesting statistics, milestones and curiosities.

Statistical peculiarities of the Berlin E-Prix

• Edo Mortara secured his sixth pole position in Formula E on Saturday. He achieved four of them in Tempelhof, the other two in Jeddah, three months ago. Behind Jarno Trulli (Berlin 2015) and Stephane Sarrazin (London 2015), he is the 3rd-oldest pole-sitter in Formula E history.
• For Mahindra Racing, it was the 14th pole position in Formula E, which means the team has now equalled Andretti and Jaguar.
• On Sunday, Pascal Wehrlein scored his eleventh pole position, which was also the twelfth for Porsche. With eleven poles in 104 races, Wehrlein has a pole position rate of 10.58 per cent. In Formula E, only Felix Rosenqvist (24 per cent), Sebastien Buemi (11.18 per cent) and Jean-Eric Vergne (11.04 per cent) have a higher rate.
• Joel Eriksson achieved the best qualifying result of his Formula E career to date with fourth place on the grid on Sunday. The Swede won his first qualifying duel on the way there. For the loser, Zane Maloney, however, sixth place was also his best grid position in Formula E to date.
• Nico Müller won his first Formula E race on Saturday. It was his 69th Formula E start, never has it taken a driver longer to take his first victory. He became the 25th race winner in total in the electric series. Remarkably, he is only the second driver after Dan Ticktum to win his first race in a Gen3 car.
• For Porsche, it was the 15th race win in Formula E, bringing the team level with Techeetah.
• Mitch Evans won his 16th E-Prix on Sunday, extending his lead in the perpetual leaderboard. For Jaguar, it was victory number 26, the fourth of the season.
• Starting position 17 was the 3rd-worst starting position from which a Formula E race has ever been won. Only Nick Cassidy in Berlin 2025 (grid position 20) and Evans in Sao Paulo 2024 (grid position 22) were further back. Strikingly, all three victories went to the Jaguar team.
• Oliver Rowland achieved his podium places no. 24 and 25 in Formula E in Berlin. For Pascal Wehrlein it was podium no. 22 on Sunday, Nick Cassidy even took podium no. 28 on Saturday.
• Jaguar and Nissan (including e.Dams) are therefore tied at the top of the all-time leaderboard after the Berlin E-Prix with 59 Formula E podiums each. Envision is currently in third place with 57.
• Felipe Drugovich scored his first points of the season on Sunday. The Brazilian has so far only scored points in Berlin in Formula E.
• Eighth place for Jean-Eric Vergne on Sunday was the Frenchman's 19th top 10 result in Berlin. He has already scored 207 points in the German capital.
• Mitch Evans, on the other hand, has now finished ten consecutive races in Berlin in the points. No one else has ever managed that.
• Buemi drove his 150th Formula E race on Saturday. He was the fourth driver after Lucas di Grassi, Jean-Eric Vergne and Antonio Felix da Costa to reach this mark.
• Lucas di Grassi is now the third oldest driver to complete a Formula E race after Jacques Villeneuve and Stephane Sarrazin. He overtook Andre Lotterer here on Saturday, who was 41 years and 253 days old at his last E-Prix.
• Sergio Sette Camara and Sacha Fenestraz are the only two Formula E drivers to have made more starts than Zane Maloney and not achieved a single podium in Formula E.
• DS Penske (including predecessor team Dragon Racing) on Saturday became the fifth Formula E team to have completed more than 10,000 race laps in the electric racing series.

Average qualifying position (season)

Only Felix da Costa has qualified in the top 10 in all eight races this season, but he is still behind Mortara and Wehrlein on average. At the end of the field, di Grassi is some way behind.

Pole positions (season)

Average race result (season)

After 19th place for Wehrlein on Saturday, there is no longer a driver who has scored points in every race. Evans, Mortara and Wehrlein are tied at the top of this statistic after the eighth race of the season. Di Grassi, Nyck de Vries and Maloney can only be found at the end of the field.

Position changes (Berlin E-Prix)

With a total of 24 positions gained (8 on Saturday, 16 on Sunday), Evans was the driver who made up the most ground. But Rowland (+16, all Sunday), Buemi, Marti (+15 each), Dennis (+14) and Nato (+13) also made up a lot of positions.

At the bottom of the list are Cassidy (-13), Maloney and Wehrlein (-19 each), who dropped back in the race after good qualifying results - in the case of Cassidy (Sunday) and Wehrlein (Saturday), of course, due to damage to the car.

Race laps completed (season)

Furthermore, seven of the 20 drivers have completed the full distance in all races so far this season.

Leading laps (season)

In this statistic, Müller extends his lead, with Rowland now in second place, just ahead of Evans and Felix da Costa. In Berlin, 14 different drivers led the two races; on Sunday alone, there were eleven drivers who collected at least one lead lap!

In total, 19 of the 20 drivers now have at least one lead lap to their name this season. The only driver who has not yet led the field is Dan Ticktum.

Under "other" are summarised: Maximilian Günther (10), Jake Dennis (8), Taylor Barnard, Sebastien Buemi, Felipe Drugovich (7 each), Lucas di Grassi (6), Joel Eriksson, Pepe Marti (4 each), Nyck de Vries, Zane Maloney and Jean-Eric Vergne (2 each).

Performance analysis of the drivers & teams (Berlin E-Prix)

Mortara was the fastest driver in Berlin: The Swiss driver set the fastest lap of the weekend (0:56.887 minutes) in the quarter-final duel on Saturday. Apart from him, only Wehrlein remained under 57 seconds (0:56.996 minutes). The Porsche driver set his best time in the semi-final duel on Saturday. He was followed by Rowland and Ticktum ahead of Cassidy. The Citroen driver is the first driver to set his best time on Sunday. Apart from him, only four other drivers managed this. At the back of the field are Sebastien Buemi, Mitch Evans, Lucas di Grassi and Pepe Marti.

The fastest team on one lap was Mahindra ahead of Porsche. They were followed by Nissan, Cupra Kiro and Citroen. The slowest team in Madrid was Andretti. Adjusted for the manufacturers' ranking, this means Mahindra >>> Porsche >>> Nissan >>> Stellantis >>> Jaguar >>> Lola Yamaha

Lap time analysis (Berlin E-Prix)

Saturday

In the lap time analysis on Saturday, it can be seen that although the cars drove slower in the initial phase, the difference was not very noticeable. It is easy to see that the two Lola Yamaha ABT drivers picked up the pace on lap 10.

You can also see that Ticktum and Wehrlein at the back of the field were speculating on a safety car after the Pit Boost stops, but this never materialised. It is particularly noticeable that Müller used the energy he had saved after activating attack mode and was clearly the fastest driver in the field, with the Swiss driver outpacing his rivals.

In contrast, drivers such as Norman Nato or Joel Eriksson had not previously saved enough energy to significantly improve their lap times with Attack Mode.

Sunday

A completely different picture on Sunday: the lap times were ten seconds slower at the start than towards the end of the race. Due to the full-course yellow shortly before the end of the race, we are only showing the lap times up to lap 33.

It is easy to see that Oliver Rowland and Mitch Evans moved from the back to the front with different strategies: While Rowland worked his way to the front from lap 10, Evans waited patiently until lap 21 to drive to the front thanks to six minutes of Attack Mode and keep the pace high even without the extra 50 kW of power.
