What a day for Porsche in Berlin! The home crowd got exactly what they were hoping for at the Tempelhof Airport Circuit, as Nico Muller delivered a strategic masterpiece to claim his first-ever Formula E victory in Saturday's E-Prix.

Starting from sixth on the grid, the Swiss driver played the long game perfectly. While others fought for early track position, Muller dropped back to conserve energy—a move that would prove decisive. As the race unfolded, he methodically worked his way through the tight, pack-style field, using his energy advantage like a secret weapon.

The pivotal moment came when Muller activated attack mode. With a 3% energy buffer over the leaders, he unleashed the 350kW power boost to snatch the lead and build a commanding four-second gap. From there, it was all about management, as he cruised to a maiden win in his fifth Formula E season.

The victory was especially sweet for Porsche, keeping them firmly in control of both the teams' and manufacturers' championships. But it wasn't all celebration for the German marque—teammate Pascal Wehrlein saw his championship lead slip away after suffering a puncture mid-race.

The podium was completed by Nick Cassidy (Citroen) in second, while reigning champion Oliver Rowland (Nissan) took third. The race followed the familiar Berlin pattern of close, energy-saving racing, with the entire field covered by just 10 seconds in the opening 12 laps.

Early drama included polesitter Edoardo Mortara, Rowland, Maximilian Guenther, and Cassidy all taking turns at the front, before the Lola Abt duo of Lucas di Grassi and Zane Maloney briefly surged ahead. But it was the patient Porsche and Jaguar drivers, dropping to the back of the top 10 to save energy, who ultimately had the last laugh.

With one race down in the Berlin double-header, the championship battle is heating up—and Porsche has served notice that they're ready to fight on home soil.
