A decision on whether to allow Formula E drivers who have clashing World Endurance Championship commitments to also compete in the Berlin E-Prix has been rejected, Motorsport.com has learned.
An electronic vote was put to all 11 Formula E team principals during the Sao Paolo E-Prix event this weekend to determine whether an FIA regulation that would prevent certain drivers from racing in Berlin could be bypassed. The unique situation comes as the first of two Berlin Formula E races, due to be held across the 11-12 May, will clash with the WEC’s Six Hours of Spa.

The decision ultimately means those drivers who race at Spa will not be permitted to also race in Berlin the next day.
