Renault e.Dams Formula E driver Nicolas Prost will start the first race of the London ePrix weekend from pole position after a rain-hit and disrupted session.
The first group lapped the circuit in dry conditions but a short but heavy rain shower arrived late in the second session. The track continued to dry throughout the third and fourth groups, before the Super Pole shoot-out.
Prost was the last driver to run and put in a 1m27.192 to take his third Formula E pole position, with Mahindra’s Bruno Senna in second place.
The wet weather mixed up the grid, with Oliver Turvey in third place for NEXTEV and Robin Frijns fourth for Andretti. Jean-Eric Vergne made it through to the Super Pole session but he failed to take part after crashing in his group.
Daniel Abt and Sam Bird took advantage of the drying conditions in the final group to take sixth and seventh on the grid, ahead of Nick Heidfeld and Stephane Sarrazin, who also crashed out in qualifying.
Loic Duval will complete the top 10 for the start of the first race of the London ePrix weekend at Battersea Park.
Championship rivals Lucas di Grassi and Sebastien Buemi will line up down in 11th and 14th, separated by Jerome d’Ambrosio and Ma Qing Hua.
Mike Conway, Antonio Felix da Costa and Nelson Piquet Jr. all made mistakes in qualifying, with Simona de Silvestro rounding out the results after spins on his attempts.
