Vote to allow Formula E drivers with WEC Spa/Berlin clash to race rejected
During the Sao Paolo E-Prix event, all 11 Formula E team principals voted on whether an FIA regulation could be bypassed to allow certain drivers to race in Berlin despite a clash with the WEC’s Six Hours of Spa. Seven drivers are running dual campaigns this season, but the regulation currently prohibits driver switches between the two races in Berlin without unanimous agreement from all teams. The decision was not unanimous, and as a result, drivers with WEC commitments will not be able to participate in the Berlin E-Prix the day after the Spa race. This affects drivers like Buemi, Frijns, Vergne, Vandoorne, de Vries, Mortara, and Muller, with some prioritizing Formula E and others prioritizing WEC commitments. Reserve drivers for the Berlin races have not been formally announced by the affected teams yet.
