Mahindra’s Edoardo Mortara claimed his first Formula E pole for two years after beating Stoffel Vandoorne to the top spot ahead of the Berlin E-Prix.
The Swiss-Italian posted a 1m01.741s, the fastest time from the entirety of qualifying, in his final qualifying duel to register his and Mahindra’s first points of the season having endured a difficult campaign so far. Mortara was only 0.011s quicker than Vandoorne in the opening sector of their final duel, but a less than ideal exit from the Turn 7 hairpin for the DS Penske driver meant he lost two tenths. The margin at the line was 0.
Despite brushing the wall at the final corner in the opening qualifying group, Mortara topped the session with a 1m02.619s and was joined by Wehrlein, Vergne and Daruvala in the duels. The second Porsche of Antonio Felix da Costa missed out on progressing by 0.084s as he finished ahead of Monaco winner and Jaguar driver, Mitch Evans. Also eliminated were Dan Ticktum , Mahindra’s Jordan King ahead of his Formula E debut and Sacha Fenestraz .
