Pascal Wehrlein believes contact “should not happen” between cars using Porsche’s Formula E powertrain after several incidents between himself and Andretti’s Jake Dennis during the second Berlin E-Prix.

The Porsche driver was left to finish fourth in the sequel at the Tempelhof Airport circuit on Sunday, one spot ahead of Dennis as the pair battled for much of the 41-lap contest. Wehrlein was left unhappy with the actions of Dennis, the reigning champion using Porsche’s 99X Electric aboard the Andretti machine, as both failed to make progress due to the constant clashes. “I think driving other drivers into the wall is too far, obviously,” Wehrlein told Motorsport.com.

“I think the worst thing for me today was that my car was damaged on lap one,” he said. “My steering was bent, my floor was damaged, my front wing was damaged. It’s just unnecessary contact there.” Ahead of the weekend, it was announced that Andretti would continue using Porsche power until the end of the Gen3 regulation cycle in 2026.
