It had looked like another New York FormulaE pole for NickCassidy_ until he was hit with a penalty, promoting afelixdacosta. Full report:
crash in the deluge that ended Saturday's race prematurely
That advantage grew with each sector, and thus handed Cassidy a session-best lap of 1m08.584s to clinch a clean sweep of poles in Brooklyn. The semi-final between da Costa and Alexander Sims was altogether far closer and, despite Sims's lock-up into Turn 1, the Briton ended the first sector fractionally ahead.
After topping his group, Sergio Sette Camara ran Lotterer close in their quarter-final duel and had the upper hand by a fraction at the end of sector 1, but Lotterer's better middle sector gave the Porsche driver enough to get through at the Dragon Penske racer's expense. But the biggest surprise of the quarter-finals was Sims's victory over Mitch Evans in their duel, with the Mahindra driver's first sector proving to be enough to keep him ahead despite the Kiwi going quicker in the latter two sectors. The two were split by just 0.006s.Sette Camara's time was the best out of those eliminated, producing an eventual fourth-place grid slot for the race with Vandoorne, Evans and de Vries behind him.
