Positions changed constantly, and strategy dictated everything.<\/p>\n<p>Mortara was right in the middle of it. He climbed from 10th on the grid into the lead group during the opening phase.<\/p>\n<p>Like many others, he took advantage of the tight pack and energy-saving tactics early on. At one stage, he even hit the front. But he downplayed that moment.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cObviously, it was\u2026 I don\u2019t think that we did a really good job today, even though we managed to actually climb up a little bit of, like, top speed,\u201d Mortara told Motorsport Week.<\/p>\n<p>The race itself was defined by extreme unpredictability. Drivers surged from the midfield to the front and back again. Energy management and Attack Mode timing proved decisive.<\/p>\n<p>Mortara admitted his team struggled on that front. \u201cStill, I think, in the end, we didn\u2019t reach a lot of points.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd in terms of strategy, I think that we were kind of a little bit on the back foot today,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n<p>That proved costly. While rivals like Mitch Evans and Oliver Rowland surged from deep on the grid to the podium, Mortara could not sustain his early progress. <\/p>\n<p>The Mahindra driver suggested that even when he reached the front, it was not entirely intentional or controlled.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEven though at some point maybe we would have led, which I don\u2019t really remember,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>That comment summed up the chaos. The lead changed hands repeatedly. <\/p>\n<p>The pack remained tightly compressed for much of the race, and drivers often focused more on saving energy than defending position.<\/p>\n<p>It was a race of missed opportunities for Mortara with a brief moment at the front, but no reward at the finish.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-vivid-red-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-9a18e52447c18b9d56866dc8ffacb628\">READ MORE \u2013 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.motorsportweek.com\/2026\/05\/03\/mitch-evans-wins-chaos-filled-berlin-e-prix\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Mitch Evans wins chaos filled Berlin E-Prix<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Edoardo Mortara cut a frustrated figure after a chaotic second race at the Berlin E-Prix that saw him&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":76578,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[99],"tags":[112,39034,39546,32554,190,39683,40957],"class_list":["post-76577","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-berlin","tag-berlin","tag-berlin-e-prix","tag-edoardo-mortara","tag-formula-e","tag-germany","tag-mahindra","tag-mahindraracing"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@dk\/116530761295894941","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/76577","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=76577"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/76577\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/76578"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=76577"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=76577"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=76577"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
