What Happened
DS Automobiles lit up the second race of the Berlin E-Prix by leading with each of its two single-seaters. Taylor Barnard qualified second and led early, but finished 11th. Maximilian Günther also led after a comeback but a Full Course Yellow issue dropped him to 15th.
“The team gave us an incredible car for qualifying today and we were rewarded with a great second place on the grid. But as we have often seen before this season, we unfortunately struggled to find the right pace in the race to convert that into a result.”
“I’m disappointed with how the weekend ended. We had put together a good race and had the chance to score solid points until a problem during the Full Course Yellow procedure. I’m still optimistic for Monaco though.”
