Felix Rosenqvist on pole for second Berlin race

Mahindra driver Felix Rosenqvist backed up his victory at the Berlin ePrix on Saturday with pole position for Sunday’s second race.

The Swedish driver easily progressed through to Super Pole, showing Mahindra’s strong form by snatching pole with a 1:08.208.

He finished just 0.098 seconds clear of championship leader Sebastien Buemi, who bounced back from his Renault e.dams car being excluded from race one.

DS Virgin Racing’s Jose Maria Lope and Sam Bird were third and fourth quickest, despite Bird topping the group stages – with both reporting low grip.
