Formula E: Verlijn earned important points for pole position.
Pascal Wehrlein, the factory Porsche team driver, will start from pole position in the second race of the Berlin Formula E weekend, which is of crucial importance for him. The thing is, in the electric series, the pole winner not only gains a good chance to fight for victory but also earns three championship points.
Meanwhile, Oliver Rowland, the championship leader, who received a penalty for causing a collision with one of his opponents near the end of yesterday's race, will lose five positions today and start only eighth. He also did not score any points yesterday because he did not finish the race.
As a result, the advantage of the Nissan factory team driver has diminished so much that he is unlikely to secure the title early today, and the fight will continue into the London final days.
It is worth adding that for the German driver, the reigning world champion, who is currently second in the individual standings, this is his first pole position at a home race of the season.
