First pole of Gen2 🤝 Last pole of Gen2 Antonio Felix da Costa claimed pole for the FormulaE finale in Seoul, beating Edoardo Mortara in their duel ⚔️ Full report and grid ⬇️
Mitch Evans' title hopes became more precarious after failing to make the qualifying duels, with a 21-point gap to overcome if he is to win the 2021-22 Formula E title, and starts only 13th after being bumped out of the top four of his group late on.
An even closer semi-final encounter between da Costa and Jake Dennis went in the DS Techeetah driver's favour, with the two separated by just 0.125s. Thus, da Costa was granted passage to the final. In the quarter-finals, Robin Frijns initially had a slight upper hand over da Costa after the opening sector of their duel, but the 2019-20 champion reversed the arrears and edged ahead by the second part of the lap - proving enough for a semi-final place.
On account of their quarter final times, Robin Frijns starts the season finale from fifth, alongside di Grassi, while Ticktum's lap granted him seventh on the grid ahead of Vergne. Dumped out of the duels having only gone seventh fastest in his group, Evans had tapped the wall in the first sector and losing about a tenth relative to his rivals.
