Da Costa secures maiden Formula E title in Berlin

DS Techeetah’s Antonio Felix da Costa has secured t⛎he 2019/20 Formula E drivers’ title following his second-place f𝐆inish at the fourth Berlin E-Prix.

DS Techeetah secured a 1-2 finish in Berlin, with outgoing champion Jean-Eric Vergne takꦓing his first victory of the season - a result which crowns DS Techeetah as the 19/20 teams’ champions.

After securing a front-row lock-out in qualifying, it remained at the front for the duration of the E-Prix with Vergne and ♍da Costa tactically changing positions throughout to fend off the charging Oliver Rowl🃏and and Sebastien Buemi.

Drops of𒅌 rain couldn’t hamper DS Techeetah’s domination at the Tempel♒hof Airport Street Circuit with it winning three of the four races in Berlin this season.

Sebastien Buemi joined the pair on the podium, moving up a place after Nissan ordering Rowland to move out of Buemi’s way to give the Swiss a chance of figh�🌱�ting for the victory.

Nyck de Vries nicked ahead of Rowland for 🍷Mercedes in the closing laps for fourth 🔥place with an aggressive move down the inside into the hairpin.

Lucas di Grassi recovered 12th on the grid to fi🎶nish sixth.

Mitch Evans saw off 🅰Andre Lotterer for seventh, while Alex Lynn and Felipe Massa completed the points-paying positions after a race-long duel between the ex-Willi🌱ams F1 colleagues.

Yesterday’s Berlin E-Prix winner Maximilian Günther retired early on after clattering into O🔴liver Turvey, resulting in the only Full Course Yellow period of the race.

While the two championships have been wrapped up, there are still two more E-Prixs to take place in Berlin - this time oౠn a slightly different circuit configuration on Tuesday and Wednesday.
