Oliver Rowland missed out on a first chance to wrap up the 2024-25 Formula E drivers' championship title as he retired from a wet first race of the Berlin weekend, while chief title rival Pascal Wehrlein finished runner-up behind Mitch Evans.

Having just taken his second attack mode deployment, shortly after a late-race safety car restart, Rowland lunged to the inside of Stoffel Vandoorne at the Turn 6-7 double-right-hander but made contact with the Maserati driver in doing so.
