According to German media reports, six people tried to stick to the asphalt. They were stopped by the security service.

“We are on the Formula E circuit to sound the alarm. It’s time to slow down. Because we are on the highway to climate hell with our foot on the gas pedal,” commented the last generation on this disruptive action.

The type of electric drive in the cars is secondary. This was also confirmed by a video message that appeared from an activist. “I will be disrupting the Formula E car race in Berlin today and I am quite scared to go to this track and wish I didn’t have to. But in the emergency we are in right now and the catastrophe we are heading towards, we need to switch to emergency mode now. The federal government must slam on the brakes to protect our livelihoods instead of wasting so much unnecessary energy here,” said one blocker.

The race could be carried out after a short delay. New Zealander Nick Cassidy won the second Formula E race of the weekend in Berlin. The 28-year-old from the Envision team won ahead of Briton Jake Dennis and Jean-Eric Vergne from France.

With his second success after New York 2022, Cassidy moved up to four points behind the German overall leader Pascal Wehrlein, who finished seventh directly behind the German-Austrian Maximilian Günther on Sunday. The next race is on May 6th in Monaco.
