Formula E fans, it’s time to circle Berlin on the calendar. The 2025 Berlin E-Prix is almost here, and with two rounds on tap at the legendary Tempelhof Airport Circuit, everything from championship glory to emerging talent is on the line. As the longest-standing host city on the calendar, Berlin is set to deliver drama, history, and electrifying action in Rounds 13 and 14 of Season 11.
High Stakes and Historic Tarmac
The Tempelhof Airport Street Circuit is no walk in the park. Known for its abrasive concrete surface, it’s one of the toughest layouts on tyres and energy strategy. With 15 turns over 2.345 km, this track has made and broken champions. This year, it could decide the Drivers’ World Championship once again.
Who Will Claim the Formula E Crown?
Oliver Rowland heads to Berlin with momentum. With seven podiums in the first nine races, the Nissan driver has crafted a commanding lead. But a few bumps in recent races have opened the door for Porsche’s Pascal Wehrlein, António Félix da Costa, and even NEOM McLaren’s Taylor Barnard. With a lead of 87 points needed by Saturday to take the title outright, Rowland has everything to fight for, and everything to lose.
GEN3 Evo Performance in the Spotlight
This weekend, the GEN3 Evo machines return to the Berlin circuit, showing off Formula E’s latest electric powertrain evolution. With instant torque and blistering acceleration, these all-electric racers offer up to 350 kW (470 hp) of peak power. Expect lightning-fast duels, late braking, and clever energy saving from drivers who know this track inside and out.
Rookie Test: Meet the Next Generation
After the weekend’s double-header, the action continues with Formula E’s official Rookie Test on Monday. For six hours, 22 rising stars will get behind the wheel of the GEN3 Evo. From F2 graduates like Frederik Vesti and Théo Pourchaire to rising female talent such as Jamie Chadwick and Abbi Pulling, this test is a gateway to the big stage, and teams will be watching closely.
2025 Berlin E-Prix Schedule: When to Watch
Free Practice kicks off on Friday, 11 July. The first race (Round 13) begins at 16:05 local time on Saturday, with the same schedule for Round 14 on Sunday. Fans can tune in for qualifying at 11:20 and races in the afternoon both days. Whether you’re watching in Berlin or streaming from home, the stakes couldn’t be higher.
A Championship Fueled by Sustainability
The 2025 Berlin E-Prix isn’t just about racing. Formula E continues to set the standard for sustainable sport, powering events with solar energy, 100% renewable HVO fuel, and advanced battery storage. Over 18,000 reusable cups, zero single-use plastics, and community programs like FIA Girls on Track and the Better Futures Fund round out a race weekend built for positive impact.
Community at the Core of Formula E
This year, local students and refugees at the Tempelhof Airport site will benefit directly from Formula E’s initiatives. From tech and motorsport workshops to garden projects and stage talks, Berlin’s race will leave a lasting human legacy long after the podium celebrations end.
Summary
The 2025 Berlin E-Prix delivers more than a title fight, it’s a complete celebration of racing, resilience, and future-forward values. With electric power, raw competition, and rising stars ready to shine, this weekend will be one to remember.
