Nelson Piquet Jr predicts that the Berlin ePrix track will be a drivers track, as the track looks like a circuit that could promote a large amount of overtaking and battles for position.

This could be great news for the Brazilian driver if he is battling with Lucas Di Grassi again on track in Germany. The 29-year old struggled to get past the championship leader in Monaco, which the former Renault Formula One driver admitted to underestimating the Monaco ePrix track when it came to overtaking.

“I have not done too much work on the simulator yet, but the track looks like a real drivers track. It’s going to be tight and there are a lot of corners, but everything indicates to it being a real drivers race. There could be a lot overtaking and a lot of fights for position. So I reckon it’s going to be very competitive over there,” said Nelson Piquet Jr.

This could be great news for Formula E fans, as Monaco failed to live up to the excitement of the first six rounds of the championship as drivers struggled to find a way through in the tight and twisty layout of the Monaco circuit.

Audi Sport ABT driver Lucas Di Grassi also thinks that Berlin will allow drivers to take more risks than they could in Monaco and the other circuits that Formula E has visited.

“This race is going to be totally unique. We are racing on an airport and not a city centre so the track can be quite wide and allowing us to take more risk. Also the track surface is concrete, so that will make it very slippery and also very difficult to drive,” said Lucas Di Grassi.

Lucas Di Grassi and Nelson Piquet are separated by only four points going into the final four races of the championship. So let’s hope that the flowing nature of the Berlin track will provide some great overtaking and battles between these two drivers.
