Current championship leaders DS TECHEETAH cemented their championship lead with 38 points two weeks ago at the Monaco E-Prix where Jean-Éric Vergne not only won the race but propelled himself into the lead of the Drivers' Title. Team-mate André Lotterer fought from the back to P7 to claim further valuable points to retain his second place in the Drivers' Standings and his lead in the voestalpine European races.

Tempelhof, the 10-turn 1.475-mile (2.375km) long Tempelhof circuit, features the 'Attack Mode Zone' in Turn 6.

Mark Preston, DS TECHEETAH Team Principal: 'Berlin is an interesting track with a very abrasive surface. It took us by surprise the first time we competed in Berlin in Season 3 but now we have a pretty good idea of what to do.

'It was great to extend our championship leads in Monaco but we're not settling for that, it's full force ahead to further extend it. The ranking can literally change in one race as it stands.'

Xavier Mestelan Pinon, DS Performance Director: 'We've managed to achieve what we set out to do in the beginning of the season by leading both championships. Now it's all about keeping this intact and to continue in our efforts in providing the drivers with a reliable and efficient car. While we're working on the development of the Season Six powertrain, the technical and team investment for the current championship is our priority.'

André Lotterer, #36: 'We've had a couple of home races now for the team and for Jean-Éric but now it's my turn to race on home soil and I'm very excited to race in front of the German fans. We will run a special livery on my DS E-TENSE FE19 car for the occasion. It will be the second time I race at Tempelhof and it will be cool to be back. It's a great location to race and the racing is good there. Our main focus will be on scoring as many points as possible to secure our positions in both championships.'
