Nissan e.dams takes fifth pole and third podium

BERLIN – Nissan e.dams continued its strong ABB FIA Formula E championship pace today with Sebastien Buemi taking pole position and finishing second in Germany.

Buemi's second place was his first podium for this season, the third for Nissan e.dams and comes back-to-back after teammate Oliver Rowland took the pole and finished second in the previous round in Monaco.

Nissan is using Formula E to demonstrate the power and performance of its electric vehicle technology – a key part of the company's Nissan Intelligent Mobility vision.

After finishing second in the qualifying group sessions, Buemi continued Nissan e.dams' run of being the only team to earn a place in the Super Pole session for each round of season five.

He made the most of the opportunity by topping the times in Super Pole and leading the opening five laps of the race. During the race he briefly dropped to third before using the extra power granted by earning the #FANBOOST vote to move back into the runner-up position.

Rowland qualified 12th fastest and fought hard throughout the 45-minute race at Berlin's old Tempelhof Airport to cross the line in eighth place.

With 25 points in this race, the team has moved into fourth place of team's championship and both drivers into the top ten in the driver's championship.

"We're very proud of our performance today and thrilled for Sebastien because he has been particularly unlucky at a couple of races this year," said Nissan global motorsport director, Michael Carcamo. "This is a great result leading into his home race in Switzerland in a couple of weeks. The entire team is very happy with our qualifying efforts this year and we're constantly looking to improve our race pace. Grabbing our second podium in row shows we're building that consistency as we strive to take the next stop to the top of the podium."
