Bern will play host to its first Formula E race in 2019 after being named as the 12th and final city on the all-electric series’ Season 5 calendar, taking the place of Zurich.

Formula E is struggling to secure a return to London despite enjoying support from city mayor Sadiq Khan, but is continuing to pursue various avenues for a race in the UK capital.
