Just 0.021s separated Mitch Evans and Jean-Eric Vergne - but the Kiwi took pole for the HyderabadEPrix 🏁 Here's the full FormulaE qualifying report ⬇️
There was little to separate Evans and Vergne in the final leg of qualifying, with the DS Penske driver holding an early edge before Evans quickly reversed the advantage before the end of the first sector.
Evans had breezed through his quarter final duel by over a second over Maximilian Guenther, who endured a scruffy lap on what was otherwise an encouraging performance from the Maserati MSG team. Vergne was originally due to start from third row of the grid having been beaten by Bird in his duel, but was promoted to the next leg of qualifying when the Jaguar driver lost his time due to a track limits infringement.
Guenther will take fifth spot on the grid, with the three drivers who had their laptimes deleted - Bird, Mortara and Rast - following up in that order.Championship leader Pascal Wehrlein was the first driver to be eliminated in Group A, the German driver failing to make the cut by 0.145s. Andretti duo Jake Dennis and Andre Lotterer were both knocked out of the group, marking an early end to qualifying for all Porsche-powered cars.
