Mitch Evans has claimed a crucial three points ahead of Saturday’s London E-Prix but will drop five places after claiming pole position.<\/h2>\n

The Jaguar man claimed top spot in a thrilling final duel, but the five place grid penalty carried over from Rome e-prix will see fellow Kiwi and title hopeful Nick Cassidy start on pole. While championship leader Jake Dennis elevated to 2nd after missing out in the semi-final.<\/p>\n

Cassidy will be looking for support from team-mate Sebastian Buemi, who lines-up third, sandwiching Dennis’ Andretti with the sister Envision. Dennis’ compatriot Dan Ticktum had plenty to smile about after a fantastic 4th place in the NIO 333. McLaren’s Rene Rast completes the top 6 in 5th place.<\/p>\n

It was a session of mixed fortunes for Andretti, with Andre Lotterer only managing 15th.<\/p>\n

A conservative race for Dennis will still see him become Britain’s first ever Formula E<\/a> World Champion, but Evans and Cassidy will be looking to keep themselves in contention at the ExCeL Centre, in a race that is likely to see more attacking action opposed to the strategic racing seen over the course of the season due to the Gen3 cars.<\/p>\n
