Pit lane temperature had edged up another degree to 32C by the time the fourth qualifying group embarked and Super Pole contender Di Grassi had been announced as under investigation for a technical infringement, which he theorised might be to do with regulations about brake temperature manipulation on his out lap.
Buemi, one of Formula E’s most successful drivers but now more than a season without a race win and without a recent pole, put in a much more competitive 1’08.816 but was unable to contest Di Grassi’s huge margin.
Di Grassi remains under investigation for technical infringements and Stoffel Vandoorne for incorrect Super Pole procedure.
