Other notable qualifying performances came from Daniel Abt in sixth, who was three tenths and six places ahead of his Abt Schaeffler Audi Sport team-mate Lucas di Grassi, which meant for the first time in Formula E, he’d out-qualified di Grassi twice on the bounce. Given that in the qualifying group stages, Vergne had lapped in 1m20.993s – a full half a second faster than Rosenqvist’s eventual pole time, there was a very strong chance that the Frenchman would have snatched away the top spot but for the failure to send him out of the garage on time. It was a career first Julius Baer Pole Position for Felix Rosenqvist and also the first Formula E pole for the Mahindra Racing team.īut while the Swede did a great job in the Super Pole session, his task was made considerably easier by a misunderstanding in the TECHEETAH pit that resulted in Jean-Eric Vergne being sent out too late to take to the track and set a time. It’s been almost a month since the last time the FIA Formula E Championship cars were in action, and with two more months to wait until the on-track action resumes in Buenos Aires, we take a detailed look back to the last round in Marrakesh to deconstruct what we saw play out on track.
