On the day, the former world champion will take to the track in a dedicated 10-minute slot ahead of round nine of the championship, and the fourth consecutive year Formula E's raced in the German capital.

"I’m really excited to get behind the wheel of the Gen2 car. It will be great to experience this high-performance e-mobility car and let's see if I still have it in me!" said Rosberg. "It makes it even more special that I’m able to do this at the Berlin E-Prix, as I’ve always loved racing in my home country - Germany." Since retiring from a 10-year career in racing, Rosberg has taken an interest in the next generation of mobility - e-mobility. "I’ve become very interested in the e-mobility movement and its potential to positively impact our society and our planet. I’ve therefore also long believed in the potential of Formula E and came on board as an investor some time ago,” he added.
