Felix Rosenqvist continued his good form over the Berlin Formula E weekend by scorching to his second pole position of the season in Sunday’s qualifying session at Tempelhof Airport.
Rosenqvist battled through from third on the grid to claim his maiden Formula E victory in Saturday’s opening race, beating title contender Lucas di Grassi.
The Swede followed this up by taking his second pole in Formula E - his first coming last November in Marrakesh - on Sunday, edging out Renault e.dams’ Sebastien Buemi.
Rosenqvist turned in a fastest lap time of 1:08.208 to finish 0.098 seconds clear of Buemi, giving the Mahindra Racing team even more reason to celebrate after its double podium on Saturday.
Jose Maria Lopez and Sam Bird carried over their good qualifying form from Saturday to get into Super Pole for DS Virgin Racing, locking out the second row of the grid. Jean-Eric Vergne will start fifth for Techeetah.
Fresh from cutting Buemi’s championship lead down to just 22 points on Saturday, di Grassi was unable to repeat his charge to pole, ailing to seventh on the grid behind Oliver Turvey. Daniel Abt and Mitch Evans will start eighth and ninth respectively, with Nicolas Prost rounding out the top 10.
