Starting his recovery from the back of the field, Günther initially saved energy to use it later on in the race. That worked out well for him, and he climbed into the top ten on the final lap, as a number of drivers were powerless to stop him passing them, thanks to the fact that he had more energy at his disposal. Dennis started the race from 19^thand quickly improved to 13^th. However, he fell back down the field because he missed the activation zone for the attack mode, costing him a lot of time. He eventually had to settle for 16^th place. Günther and Dennis are now 14^th and 15^th in the Drivers’ Championship, each with 54 points. BMW i Andretti Motorsport lies sixth in the Team competition with 108 points.
 
Races 12 and 13 of the season take place in London on 24^th and 25^th July.

“After yesterday’s success this was a disappointing day for us. It all resulted from the misfortune we had in qualifying with the rain. Anyway, we tried to make the best of it. With Jake we had a slightly more aggressive strategy than we had with Maximilian’s car. That was paying off when he had a good start and passed a couple of drivers ahead of him. Unfortunately, after he had missed the loops of the attack zone we were on the backfoot. With Maximilian it was more of a game of patience. We slowly made our way through the field saving a lot of energy. Then we took our chances where we could and ended up finishing in P10. A great recovery drive from Maximilian – and who knows? This one point can make a huge difference at the end of the season.”

The BMW Group has been represented in the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship as ‘Official Vehicle Partner’ since the very beginning and will continue to provide the fleet of safety cars for season 7 of the fully-electric racing series. Alongside the BMW i8 Roadster Safety Car (fuel consumption (combined): 2.0 l /100 km; energy use (combined): 14.5 kWh /100 km; combined CO2 emissions: 46 g/km)*, which has been modified specially for racing use, the MINI Electric Pacesetter inspired by JCW will be appearing as a new safety car from the Rome E-Prix onwards. The development of the car based on the new MINI Cooper SE represents a hitherto unique collaboration between MINI Design, BMW Motorsport, the FIA and Formula E. The fleet also includes the BMW i3s (Power consumption in kWh/100: 14.6-14.0 (NEDC); 16.6-16.3 (WLTP), electric range in km: 278-283 (WLTP))* as ‘Race Director Car’ and the BMW iX3 (Power consumption in kWh/100: 17.8-17.5 (NEDC); 19.0-18.6 (WLTP), electric range in km: 450-458 (WLTP))* in its roles as ‘Medical Car’ and ‘Rescue Car.
