ePrix Berlin – Qualifications: Trulli takes pole position!
Jarno Trulli took pole position for the Berlin ePrix this afternoon during qualifying. The Italian driver was the fastest, ahead of di Grassi and Buemi for the top 3.
Present in the first qualifying group, Jarno Trulli took the lead at the start of the qualifying session with a lap completed in 1:21.547, thus reminding everyone of his notable one-lap performances in Formula 1. As other drivers took their turns, he managed to maintain this provisional pole position, much to the frustration of championship leader Lucas di Grassi (Audi Sport ABT), who ended up in second place.
The winner of the last Formula E race held in Monaco two weeks ago, Sébastien Buemi (e.dams Renault) finishes in 3rd place, ahead of one of the local contenders, Nick Heidfeld (Venturi). The German is followed by his compatriot, Daniel Abt (Audi Sport ABT) and the Belgian Jérôme d’Ambrosio (Dragon Racing).
Then we find a group of French drivers to complete the top 10, with Prost (e.dams Renault) in 7th place followed by Duval (Dragon Racing), Sarrazin (Venturi), and Vergne (Andretti). The other French driver on the grid, Charles Pic, is further back, only in 17th place at the wheel of the Chinese Nextev Tcr team car.
