Fans have showed their disappointment of the Berlin ePrix clashing with the Monaco Grand Prix qualifying session.

The Berlin eprix was originally scheduled for the 30th May, but the addition of the Moscow ePrix on the 6th June has pushed the German race back a week to the 23rd. This date clashes with the Monaco Grand Prix qualifying session as well as the Indy 500 in America.

The change of date has caused concern in the German media, as they believe that Formula E has yet to fully establish themselves in the country. There is a fear that motorsport fans in Germany would rather stay at home and watch the Monaco Grand Prix qualifying session than actually buy a ticket for the Berlin ePrix.

Although fans are upset with the events happening on the same day. The cars will only be on the track at the same time once in the entire day; this will be when Formula E is in its second practice session and Formula One in its third practice session.

The qualifying session for the Berlin ePrix will take place an hour earlier than the qualifying session for the Monaco ePrix. However, despite there not being a clash between the two events, it is predicted that some fans will watch the build up to the Monaco qualifying session as it is televised, rather than watching the stream of the Berlin qualifying session on their phone or laptop.

So don’t get to worried about missing a session of Formula One or Formula E, as you can still watch the main events without missing the two sessions from home. However, it will be interesting to see if this clash will affect the ticket sales for the Berlin ePrix when they go on sale.
