Wehrlein Secures Historic Pole at Mexico City E-Prix

Pascal Wehrlein achieved pole position for the Mexico City E-Prix, marking his second consecutive pole at this event and creating history as the first front-row lockout for TAG Heuer Porsche in Formula E. His remarkable lap time of 1m10.984s narrowly surpassed that of his teammate, António Félix da Costa, who reported car issues during the session. This pole position adds to Wehrlein’s impressive season, where he has also secured pole in São Paulo, establishing himself as the first driver to clinch four poles at a single Formula E track.

The qualifying session highlighted Porsche's competitive prowess, with Jean-Eric Vergne from DS Penske securing third position, while Oliver Rowland from Nissan locked in fourth. Mitch Evans from Jaguar will start fifth. The session was intense, featuring several drivers facing disqualifications due to technical infringements, which added a layer of drama to the qualifying round. With the anticipation of potential rain, the race promises to deliver excitement following a series of practice sessions and qualifying rounds.
