Official: Buemi penalized in Long Beach, pole position for Abt
Sébastien Buemi, who had secured pole position during the qualifications in Long Beach, has been penalized and will ultimately start from the 10th place. Daniel Abt takes over the first place on the grid.
Under investigation by the stewards after the qualifying session during which he had set the fastest time, Sébastien Buemi will ultimately start from the 10th position after being penalized for exceeding the allotted energy limit during the session.
It is therefore his direct opponent from Group 4 of the qualifiers, the German Daniel Abt, who will have the honor of opening the track for the Long Beach ePrix.
