Berlin, May 25, 2019 – Audi Sport ABT Schaeffler remains unbeaten as Audi’s factory team at its home round in Formula E. Following Daniel Abt’s victory last year, #lucasdigrassi triumphed at the E Prix in Berlin this time.

For the Brazilian it was his tenth victory in the electric #racing series with which he improved to second position in the overall Formula E drivers’ championship, behind title defender Jean-Eric Vergne (DS Techeetah). In the teams’ classification, Audi Sport ABT Schaeffler, after its 40th Formula E podium, also sits in second position before the final three races in Bern (June 22) and New York (July 13/14).

In front of Audi’s management board members Hans-Joachim Rothenpieler (Technical Development) and Wendelin Göbel (HR and Organization), di Grassi fully displayed the strengths of the Audi e-tron FE05 in Berlin. Even though he had to qualify in the most unfavorable first group on Saturday morning, the Audi driver secured the third place on the grid. “From this moment on, I knew that we’d be able to win today,” said di Grassi, who only needed five laps to take the lead of the race. After that, the Brazilian pulled clear of his immediate rivals, controlled the pace up until the finish and also secured the additional point for the fastest race lap.

“That was a very strategic race today,” said di Grassi. “It was about energy management and we showed that our car is very efficient. Winning Audi’s home round in front of such an enthusiastic crowd is simply fantastic. We’re back in the title race and are going to have a big party tonight.”
