Get Ready for the Electrifying Berlin E-Prix: The Race Weekend of the Year!
The wait is finally over! After a thrilling five-week hiatus, the adrenaline-pumping action of Formula E roars back into life this weekend with the highly anticipated Berlin E-Prix double-header, marking the seventh and eighth rounds of the exhilarating 2026 season. This isn’t just any race; it's a historic showdown at the iconic Tempelhof Airport Circuit, a venue that has become synonymous with Formula E since its inception. Buckle up, because this is going to be one for the record books!
The Berlin circuit, once a bustling airport that closed its doors in 2018, has hosted more races than any other track in Formula E history. As the engines rev and the tension mounts, this weekend’s races will be the 23rd and 24th to grace the hallowed tarmac of Tempelhof. And don't miss out—this event is officially sold out, drawing in thousands of electrified fans eager to witness the drama unfold.
All eyes will be on Germany's own Pascal Wehrlein, currently leading the drivers' championship with an edge of 11 points over fierce competitor Edoardo Mortara. The stakes are high, and the pressure is palpable! But it’s not just the drivers' championship that's heating up; German powerhouse Porsche is dominating the teams' and constructors' standings, with rival Jaguar hot on their heels. With their recent one-two finish in Madrid, Jaguar is undeniably the team to watch, boasting impressive performances from stars António Félix da Costa and Mitch Evans, who have clinched three of the last four races. Remarkably, Jaguar triumphed in both races held in Berlin last year, and they appear poised to repeat that success.
Mark your calendars! The action-packed weekend kicks off on Friday, May 1, with the first free practice session revving up at 15:00 BST. Fans will have another chance to see their favorite drivers in action with the second practice on Saturday, May 2, at 08:30 BST. The tension escalates with qualifying for the first race starting at 10:40 BST, leading up to the much-anticipated race—Round 7 of the season—set to launch at 15:00 BST.
But the excitement doesn’t stop there! On Sunday, May 3, the schedule mirrors Saturday’s, with a third practice session, qualifiers for the second race, and the grand finale race.
