Buemi takes pole for first Formula E-Prix Berlin 2023

Sebastien Buemi gets to start from pole position in the first Formula E Prix of Berlin on Saturday afternoon. He trumped Sam Bird in the final, after dealing with Stoffel Vandoorne in the semi-final. Bird will therefore start second, ahead of Vandoorne and Dan Ticktum.

Stoffel Vandoorne had a good pace all weekend and he managed to carry that through to qualifying. Together with Sebastien Buemi, Dan Ticktum and Sam Bird, the DS Penske driver advanced to the semi-finals. There, Vandoorne was eliminated by Buemi, who advanced to the final.

In the final, Buemi faced Bird, who had eliminated Ticktum in the semi-finals. The Jaguar driver failed to match Buemi's pace and so it was the Swiss who put his Envision Racing car on pole for Saturday afternoon's E-Prix.
