Nico Mueller<\/a> became Formula E\u2019s latest race winner in Berlin \u2013 number 25 of the championship\u2019s history \u2013 in spectacular fashion as he managed his energy brilliantly and dominated the final stages of the race to finish 4.7 seconds clear of the rest of the grid.\u00a0<\/p>\n

After 69 starts in the all-electric championship, it’s a win that feels like a long time coming for the Swiss driver, who also wins at home for Porsche<\/a> in a special \u2018Pink Pig\u2019 livery.\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n

MEET THE GRID: Which drivers are racing in Formula E in 2025\/26?<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m feeling relieved and super grateful,\u201d Mueller told the media after his victory. \u201cI still haven’t really realised what we did. It’s a special weekend. You come here knowing that a lot of important people are here and you want to make them proud, you want to make your fans proud, you want to make sure that this livery adds to its history a little bit.<\/p>\n

\u201cTo be able to do it in the way we did today just makes me very proud and grateful for the opportunity. When you get to represent Porsche it is already a big step in your career and to finally make it happen in the 69th attempt, and to win for them in Berlin on the 75th anniversary of Porsche Motorsport, is pretty sick.”<\/p>\n

When asked about if he was superstitious, and will want this pink pig livery to say, Nico said as much as he loves it he believes there\u2019s more to come this season: \u201cI think they have some other cool stuff up their sleeve, but I’m going to hang up the race suit somewhere in my gym at home and it’s going to be a good reminder of why to grind hard on days where you may be less motivated.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

Everyone was delighted to see Mueller\u2019s win, from the current Porsche team, to other drivers on the grid and fans, and in the crowd to see all the celebrations where his family. His wife, son and newborn daughter were all watching, before Nico pulled his son onto the podium stage.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cI get goosebumps when you mention my family, because they don’t often come to the track and this is one of the few exceptions,\u201d the race-winner admitted, before pointing to third-placed Oliver Rowland.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cI think Oliver inspired my son a little bit. He was like, \u2018he always takes his daughter onto the podium. When will you take me?\u2019 and I’m like \u2018look, a podium? No. A win? Okay\u2019.\u00a0<\/p>\n

EXPLAINED: What does a Formula E race weekend look like, and what’s the format?<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cI was very proud to keep my promise today, and when they were here for the first time this year.\u201d<\/p>\n
