Formula E: Jake Dennis wins the first pole of the season

In a season of ups and downs, the pilot Andretti and the 2023 champion have passed Taylor Barnard and won his first pole during the year.

Andretti’s 2025 season is controversial. The team that was champion in 2022/23 with Jake Dennis did not achieve great results this year, even so, the perseverance of the team has finally been the result. After two free training in completely different track conditions, the dawn of Saturday (21), began with intense disputes for the first places on the starting grid.

In a mostly British dispute, the pilot Andretti passed the young promise of Neom McLaren after an escape of Barnard, making his pilot and his advantage in Dennis waste a lot of time.

Node Group A.Jean-éric Vergne was the fastest, with a time of 1min09s462, followed by the 2023 champion, Jake Dennis, with a difference of 0.462. Edoardo Mortara and Nick Cassidy completed the four drivers who went to the duels.

The drama of the session was the leader of the championship, Oliver Rowland, who despite the championship with a comfortable advantage, was only in the ninth place of his group. Therefore, the Nissan driver will start only in the ninth line. The British consolation was that Antonio Félix da Costa and Pascal Wehrlein, his rivals in the championship, did not even advance.

Node Group BThe young driver of McLaren Taylor Barnard was the fastest, with the time of 1min08s968, the same time as Nyck de Vries, who was second, remaining in front of the draw criterion: after having made his return first. Sébastien Buemi and Dan Ticktum closed the top 4 of the group, going directly to the Knockout.

With Mahondra surprising and put the two cars in the duels and the winner of the Shanghai Race 1, Maximilian Günther, outside the dispute, the duels went as follows:

Jean-éric Vergne X Nick Cassidy

Jake Dennis X Edoardo Mortara

Taylor Barnard X Dan Tickum

Nyck of Vries X Sébastien Buemi

Dennis, Cassidy, by Vries and Barnard advanced in the semifinals, with the driver Andretti with Nick Cassidy’s mistakes to go to the final together with Taylor Barnard. In the end, McLaren’s jewel made an error and the pole was in the hands of the Andreti pilot.
