Edoardo Mortara takes Berlin E-Prix win from pole to reinvigorate ABB FIA Formula E Championship push

ROKIT Venturi Racing’s Edoardo Mortara took victory from pole in the ABB FIA Formula E Championship’s Berlin E-Prix to pull himself back into a title race that looks to be rapidly heating up. The Swiss driver finished runner up in the Drivers’ Championship last year and, following two frustrating DNFs in a row, took his second victory of the season to move up to fourth in the Drivers’ Championship. Ad/> Mortara held off a spirited effort from two-time Formula E champion Jean-Eric Vergne who pushed him all the way until a great defensive move on an attempted overtake pushed the Frenchman back and allowed Mortara to romp home.
