Pascal Wehrlein in pole position in Monaco

The first group logically saw Mitch Evans (Jaguar), who has dominated the weekend since the start of Free Practice 1, achieve the best time, and qualify for the duels phase. The New Zealander had an advantage of three tenths over the competition, with Pascal Wehrlein (Porsche), Maximilian Günther (Maserati) and Antonio Félix Da Costa (Porsche) who also qualified for the duels.

Robin Frijns (Envision) missed qualifying by just two thousandths of a second, forcing him to start on the fifth row of the grid. Sergio Sette Camara (ERT) was also eliminated, as were the ABT Cupras of Nico Müller and Lucas di Grassi, the Mahindra of Nyck de Vries, Oliver Rowland's Nissan and Norman Nato's Andretti.

The second group was led by Stoffel Vandoorne (DS Penske), author of the best time during his very last passage. His teammate Jean-Éric Vergne also enters the duels, as do Nick Cassidy (Jaguar) and Sébastien Buemi (Envision). Vergne led almost the entire session, before slipping down the standings as his opponents' 350 kW laps progressed.

Jehan Daruvala (Maserati) is the first of those who do not pass in duels, he is ahead of Edoardo Mortara (Mahindra), Sacha Fenestraz (Nissan), Jake Hughes (McLaren), and defending champion Jake Dennis (Andretti), only ninth. Dan Ticktum (ERT), who had been very comfortable in free practice, had to settle for tenth time, ahead of the McLaren of Taylor Barnard, who replaced Sam Bird, who was injured this morning.

Surprise elimination of Mitch Evans

The first duel pitted Maximilian Günther against Pascal Wehrlein. The Porsche driver won without much difficulty, more than half a second ahead of his Maserati counterpart. The second quarter-final went to the advantage of Mitch Evans against Antonio Félix Da Costa, again with more than half a second in advance.

The third duel, 100% Jaguar powertrains, saw the victory of Nick Cassidy who joined his teammate in the semi-final. The Kiwi was ahead of Sébastien Buemi by three tenths. In the last confrontation, which pitted the two DS Penske drivers against each other, it was Stoffel Vandoorne who narrowly emerged victorious, just a tenth ahead of Jean-Éric Vergne.

The surprise came from the first semi-final, since Pascal Wehrlein managed to beat Mitch Evans by almost half a second! The Jaguar driver must therefore be content with a place on the second row, although he had dominated the weekend until then. Stoffel Vandoorne won the second duel against Nick Cassidy who had to deal with slight damage to the suspension, probably following contact with the rail on a previous lap.

In the final, Pascal Wehrlein took pole position ahead of Stoffel Vandoorne, by half a second. Start of this Monaco E-Prix at 15:03 p.m.!
