The FIA has reduced the amount of Attack Mode available for the Berlin E-Prix due to battery concerns, cutting Saturday’s race to six minutes and Sunday’s to four. Unlike the Sao Paulo E-Prix’s temperature-related challenges this year, Berlin’s issues stem from high-speed sections putting strain on the WAE-supplied battery. This adjustment is seen as part of the standard monitoring process, with flexibility built into the Sporting Regulations allowing for such changes. NEOM McLaren team principal Ian James highlighted the benefits and adaptability of the new Attack Mode format, emphasizing the importance of making adjustments for the right reasons in the future.
