Sam Bird will miss the Berlin E-Prix double-header later this month after undergoing surgery on his injured hand, with Taylor Barnard replacing him at the McLaren Formula E team.

The Briton broke a bone in his left hand following a crash in first practice ahead of last weekend's Monaco E-Prix, having hit the barrier into Sainte Devote. The injury took place to the same hand which Bird broke during the 2022 London E-Prix and which kept him out of the season finale in Seoul while he underwent surgery and recovery.
