Porsche Formula E driver Nico Mueller took his first victory in the series in the first race of the 2026 Berlin double-header.

The win came at the 69th time of asking for Mueller, but it proved a bittersweet race for Porsche - as his team-mate Pascal Wehrlein, the points leader coming into the race, suffered a puncture right before the Pit Boost pitstops and was effectively ruled out from points contention.

Mueller took control of the race suddenly and decisively after the pitstops, taking Attack Mode and breaking away to the tune of multiple seconds - soon establishing a four-second lead that held up even when his extra power wore off.

He finished a lonely 4.8s clear in front in the end, with Citroen's Nick Cassidy leading the tussle for second ahead of reigning champion Oliver Rowland (Nissan), Edoardo Mortara (Mahindra) and Jake Dennis (Andretti), the latter needing to recover from missing the Attack Mode loop twice.

Mortara now leads the championship over Wehrlein.

The Lola Yamaha partnership led its first laps in Formula E in the superspeedway-style early laps of the race, with both Zane Maloney and Lucas di Grassi running up front and even briefly maintaining a 1-2.

Both, though, ultimately cycled well out of the top 10 as the race settled down.

The top 18 were covered by just over 18 seconds in the end, with the only driver out of the battle beyond Wehrlein being Cupra Kiro's Dan Ticktum - who was solidly in the mix before encountering "error 139" repeatedly and losing heaps of time.
