After the start, the Brazilian needed only twelve laps to move his way up to second place. The defending Champion set the fastest lap in qualifying with his Audi e-tron FE04, but then had a short slide that dropped him down to fifth on the grid. The Audi one-two finish in the home race in Berlin was made perfect by Lucas di Grassi. “That was probably the most important win of my career so far and an incredible day from beginning to end,” said Daniel Abt, after having been presented with the winner’s trophy from German Transport Minister Andreas Scheuer. This was followed by a dominant start-finish victory and as crowning glory the point for the fastest race lap. Despite having to qualify in the unfavored first group, Abt qualified effortlessly for the single timed lap for the fastest five, where he threw down the gauntlet and easily clinched the first three points for the second pole position of his Formula E career.
