background
After the Paris E-Prix , Jean-Éric Vergne led the drivers' standings with 31 points ahead of Sam Bird and with 61 points ahead of Felix Rosenqvist . In the team standings, Techeetah was 55 points ahead of DS Virgin and 74 points ahead of Audi Sport ABT Schaeffler .
Before the race, there were three driver changes: At NIO , Luca Filippi returned to the cockpit after being replaced by Qinghua Ma in Paris . At Venturi , Tom Dillmann replaced Edoardo Mortara , who was also competing in the DTM at the Lausitzring . At Andretti , Tom Blomqvist was replaced by Stéphane Sarrazin .
With Sébastien Buemi (twice), Jérôme D'Ambrosio and Rosenqvist (once each), three former winners competed in this race.
During the race, the Spark SRT_05e made public demonstration laps for the first time , with Nico Rosberg at the wheel of the car . In addition, the Jaguar I-PACE drove for the first time for the Jaguar I-PACE eTROPHY demonstration laps in front of the public, the driver was the CEO of Formula E Holdings , Alejandro Agag .
Due to the first live TV broadcast of an E-Prix by ARD, the usual schedule of a race day was postponed: qualifying was moved from 12 p.m. to 2 p.m. and the start of the race from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m., so that the live broadcast between the DFB -Pokalfinale of women and the German Cup final of the men could take place.
Daniel Abt , Buemi and Rosenqvist received a so-called FANBOOST , they were allowed to increase the output of their second vehicle to up to 200 kW and thus use up to 100 kilojoules of additional energy. For Abt it was the seventh, for Buemi the eighth and for Rosenqvist the third FANBOOST this season.
training
In the first free practice, Nick Heidfeld set the fastest time in 1: 09.697 minutes ahead of Buemi and Vergne. Training had to be interrupted by Sarrazin after an accident.
In the second free practice, Vergne was fastest with a lap time of 1: 09.438 minutes ahead of Buemi and André Lotterer .
Qualifying
Qualifying began at 2 p.m. and took place in four groups of five drivers each, each group had six minutes in which the drivers could do a maximum of one timed lap with an output of 170 kW and then a maximum of one timed lap with an output of 200 kW were allowed to drive. Di Grassi was fastest with a lap time of 1: 09.620 minutes.
The five fastest drivers then drove in the first five positions in the individual time trial called Superpole . Daniel Abt secured pole position and three points with a lap time of minutes. The other positions were occupied by Oliver Turvey , Vergne, D'Ambrosio and di Grassi.
Lotterer was relocated ten starting positions after causing a collision at the Paris E-Prix. However, since this was not completely possible from starting position 18, the rest of the relocation was converted into a time penalty of ten seconds, which he had to serve when changing vehicles.
run
The race lasted 45 laps.
Abt won the race ahead of di Grassi and Vergne. It was the second victory for Abt in the FIA Formula E Championship after the Mexico City E-Prix 2018 . Audi Sport ABT Schaeffler achieved the first one-two, it was only the second one-two in the championship. Di Grassi finished second for the fourth time in a row, Vergne the fifth podium finish of the season.
