Jean-Eric Vergne fought back from a trying opening double-header in Berlin with a commanding Julius Baer Pole Position for the Berlin E-Prix Round 8 – half-a-second clear of BMW i Andretti Motorsport’s Max Guenther. That made it 11 career pole positions in Formula E for the Parisian, and a timely one after a demoralising mid-week at Tempelhof. “The first two races here were a complete nightmare,” he said. I know what I can do but the last two race days were awful. Guenther followed through on two promising practice sessions after a disappointing time of it in Berlin so far with the second fastest time in his group. “It’s good for all of us to finally have a positive qualifying after struggling in the first two rounds,” he said. That’s now two Super Pole sessions in three for the Brit in Berlin.
