Tag Heuer Porsche’s Antonio Felix da Costa went fastest in FP2 ahead of qualifying for this evening’s first race of the Formula E Jeddah E-Prix double-header.
The Portuguese went quickest with a time of 1:15.470, one tenth ahead of DS Penske’s Maximilian Guenther in second.
Jake Hughes was a further tenth adrift in third, with Norman Nato continuing to look fast after second in FP2 with fourth-fastest, with a 1:15.711.
Oliver Rowland, who was fastest yesterday, was fifth, with Edouardo Mortara’s Mahindra in sixth, and Nico Mueller seventh.
Sam Bird was eighth for NEOM McLaren, with da Costa’s team-mate Pascal Wehrlein in ninth, with Cupra Kiro’s David Beckmann 10th.
The session was halted twice by red flags, the first early-on due to Robin Frijns’ Envision stopping out on track due to a technical glitch.
The second came with just a matter of seconds remaining, with former FE teammates Stoffel Vandoorne and Nyck de Vries coming together at Turn 13, the Dutchman’s Mahindra spearing into the barrier as he tried to pass the Belgian’s Maserati.
