The race:
That was the sixth season in ABB Formula E! With Antonio Felix Da Costa (Por) the new world champion has been certain for two races. But the last win of the day is still fiercely fought at the restart finale in Berlin (six races in nine days).
–
The main actors: Our Sébastien Buemi in a Nissan and the two Mercedes from Stoffel Vandoorne and Nick de Vries. Vandoorne pulls away in the second half of the race and wins. Buemi defends himself for a long time in a hot duel with Dutchman de Vries, but shortly before the end the Dutchman attacks successfully.
–
Buemi remains 3rd. His third podium this season. At the end of the World Cup, the Frenchman made a leap forward from rank 8, and at times he is even on course for the runner-up world title. But in the battle for points for the World Cup podium, Buemi still falls from the podium because the retiring world champion Jean-Eric Vergne wins again in the remote duel.
–
Buemi finished the year in 4th place. After the World Championship title in 2016 and three runner-up titles, the Swiss electric star is fourth overall for the second time.

Neel Jani, Rang 15:
In the qualification he convinced a second time after Wednesday. But despite starting position 8 there will be nothing for the Zealander with a highlight at the end of the season.–
