The Final Qualifying group included Monaco ePrix winner Buemi and the remaining drivers yet to run: Chandhok, Bird, Abt and Duval. After 5 minutes of running, Buemi was the only one from Group 4 who has penetrated the Top 3 position. Sam Bird was still at the bottom of the grid with 3 minutes to go after he locked up. Abt set the fastest 1st sector but could only manage a time of 1min21.754 (P5).

This was Jarno Trulli and the Trulli’s Team’s first pole position in FormulaE – quite a reversal of fortune from Monaco when both drivers were drawn in Group 4 and didn’t have a good race weekend. Pole for Trulli also comes exactly 11 years after his secured pole at Monaco in Formula 1 on May 23rd.

Car 3 was temporarily under investigation (for weaving/obstructing Sarazzin during Q1 and potentially costing the Frenchman pole) but no further action was taken against the young Spaniard.
