McLaren Racing returns to Germany as Round 7 and Round 8 of the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship hits Berlin. Hear from NEOM McLaren Formula E drivers Jake Hughes and René Rast, and Team Principal Ian James as they prepare for the Berlin E-Prix.
Round | 7 & 8 |
When | 21- 23 April |
Where | Berlin, Germany |
"I’m looking forward to racing in Berlin. We’ve come from a decent event in São Paulo, where we got back into the qualifying duels and into the points for the second time following Cape Town. I’m feeling confident. We had a good race in Brazil in terms of taking a step in energy management from my side so hopefully I can carry that forward into Berlin.
"After three tracks that were new to everyone, it will be interesting to see everyone return to a familiar track in Berlin but in new cars. We have to be flexible and ready to adapt, but I have full confidence in the team that we will be able to tackle any challenge. Hopefully we can score some more points and challenge for the podium spots."
"Being my home race, I’m excited for the Berlin E-Prix. It’s a very special event for me. It’s the race and track that I am most familiar with on the calendar, so I’m heading into the event feeling confident and am looking forward to it. Hopefully we can continue to build on the success we have had so far this season, we have been competitive on almost all tracks. I hope we can finish strongly in the points and even achieve a podium."
"We’re itching to hit the track again after a good few weeks since our last race, out in Brazil. The season so far has provided the fans with lots of action, and the championship is living up to its promises as one of the most exciting racing series out there. "It’s great to be returning to Berlin for one of the most iconic races on the Formula E calendar. The Berlin E-Prix has cemented itself as one of the ‘FE classics’ – the backdrop, the atmosphere and the races that have unfolded here in the past all contributing to its status. "Although Berlin is known to all teams, this year will provide a fresh challenge as we hit the reset button with the Gen3 cars. The competition is also tougher than ever before, but we’re relishing the challenge. Now, bring on the action!"
