Berlin Formula E: Lopez on top after practice

The DS Virgin Racing driver leapt to the top of the times midway through FP2, deposing Saturday's race winner Felix Rosenqvist in the process.

Rosenqvist set the early pace on a 1m07.753s, which Lopez edged by almost a tenth to set a new Tempelhof record of 1m07.670s.

Lopez's effort meant Sebastien Buemi's hold of the lap record lasted little more than an hour - the Renault e.dams driver having topped FP1 with a 1m07.712s.

Buemi was in the clear in the opening session, opting for full-power 200kW laps while the other frontrunners focused on race-power runs.

In FP2 he left his qualifying simulation until the last moment, then jumped to third with a 1m07.782s.

That dropped the second DS Virgin of Sam Bird to fourth ahead of Daniel Abt.

A lurid Jean-Eric Vergne ended up sixth-fastest, having lost time with a sideways moment through the final corner.

Lucas di Grassi lapped faster than his Saturday pole time but was still only ninth fastest, half a second off the pace, as a host of drivers improved in warm conditions and with the track at its most rubbered-in.
