Nico Muller secured his maiden Formula E victory at the 2026 Berlin E-Prix, delivering a landmark result for Porsche at the Tempelhof Airport Circuit. The win marks a pivotal moment in the opening race of the double-header, reshaping the championship battle.
Muller’s success was built on efficient energy management, particularly in the closing stages where deployment strategy proved decisive. He held off pressure from Nick Cassidy, who finished second for Citroen, while reigning champion Oliver Rowland of Nissan completed the podium.
