ROKiT Venturi Racing's pace was underlined once again in Free Practice 2 ahead of the Shell Recharge Berlin E-Prix Round 8 as Lucas di Grassi and Edoardo Mortara led the way with the first and second quickest times of the session.
Di Grassi's 1m06.133s was two-tenths quicker than his teammate managed in FP1 and some 0.150s quicker than Mortara in FP2. The pair led Oliver Rowland, who went quickest in the first practice session ahead of Round 7 with his Mahindra Racing teammate also securing a spot on the front row in qualifying yesterday, the Anglo-Indian outfit look to be in the mix.

Standings leader Stoffel Vandoorne was next up for Mercedes-EQ as a marker of his underlying speed, if his Round 7 drive didn't do enough to mark his credentials here in Berlin. Porsche's Pascal Wehrlein rounded fifth, just ahead of Avalanche Andretti's Jake Dennis.
