Fourteenth in qualifying then 7th in the race on Saturday, Stoffel Vandoorne is gradually finding pace in the London city.

On a track where the driving conditions were better than the day before, the driver Mercedes won the very close 6-way duel for pole position in the second race of the weekend. With a time of 1'20"181, the Belgian was only 41 thousandths faster than Oliver Rowland (Nissan e-Dams) and 67 than Alex Lynn (Mahindra), Saturday's pole sitter.

Behind, Nick de Vries (Mercedes), Mitch Evans (Jaguar) and Maximilian Günther (BMW) were a little further behind since they were around 2 tenths behind Stoffel Vandoorne's mark.

On Jean-Éric Vergne's side, things are still not getting better. Twenty-third on the grid on Saturday, the DS Techeetah representative will start from the same position this Sunday just behind his teammate António Félix Da Costa. Second Frenchman entered, Norman Nato (Venturi) will start from 13th place.
