Reigning Formula E champion Jake Dennis secured his first pole position of the season after beating current championship leader Nick Cassidy to top spot for the weekend’s second Berlin E-Prix.

The Briton and his Andretti team put in a remarkable turnaround from yesterday having qualified on the back row of the grid before retiring in the race. Dennis pulled out a margin of 0.034s in the opening sector against Cassidy, the Jaguar driver having taken yesterday’s win at the Tempelhof Airport circuit after a superb under-the-radar drive. Cassidy’s deficit grew to 0.241s through the middle sector, though, after running wide at the Turn 9 left-hand hairpin.

Antonio Felix da Costa once again just missed out on progressing to the duels after finishing fifth in the opening qualifying group, the Porsche driver only 0.062s away from the cut-off point. Cassidy had topped the session with a 1m02.544s as one-tenth covered the top four consisting of Guenther, as well as Evans and Mortara who set identical times. Also failing to progress were Abt’s Lucas di Grassi, Jake Hughes and podium finisher in the opening Berlin race, Nissan’s Oliver Rowland.
