Rahal Letterman Lanigan Racing driver, Sellers, currently tops the Championship table with 93 points, having been on the podium six times this season. Brazilian Jimenez trails the American by just one point after taking second place in Monaco.
I found Monaco to be a challenging event personally. The track was very different to what we are normally used to. With the compressed weekend format, I think you must roll out to the first session with a good feeling and a good car to try and make the most of the weekend. Unfortunately I did not have that feeling right away. I feel like we were able to make the most of the weekend and walk away with a podium which was amazing.
At this moment I’m honestly not thinking about the championship at all. It’s so wide open I think the bigger focus should be on executing on the race weekends that we have left. I feel like we need to do our jobs and deliver the best results we possibly can and see where that leads us.
The Berlin track looks to be quite wide and, again, very different to most of the circuits we race on. It’s more of a standard time and session schedule, so it will be good to be able to get back on track and get some testing in.

Current championship leader
jaguar I-PACE eTROPHY, Monaco
I am really looking forward to racing in Berlin. After the 1‑2 finish in Monaco, I´m only one point off being top of the championship table and that´s my main goal for the next weekend: to leave Germany as Jaguar I‑PACE eTROPHY´s leader.
Berlin will be a brand‑new track for me, so it’s important to make the best out of Shakedown and Free Practice in order to have a strong qualifying ‑ that is crucial for a good race result. In the past few races the team have found a nice balance in the car, which has seen some strong performances, so I believe we will be competitive at Tempelhof.
Sérgio Jimenez
currently is second in the championship

As this is the first time I’m taking part in an all‑electric powered racing series, I am very curious to see how it works. I feel nervous but also excited to race alongside the professionals battling to be crowned champion.
I’m so pleased to be competing in the vibrant capital of my home country, Berlin, but racing in front a home crowd does add more pressure. I’m looking forward to lights going green and meeting many racing enthusiasts at Tempelhof airfield. See you there!
