The first of the weekend's two races highlighted the good health of the DS Penske cars in practice, but things turned to the advantage of the Jaguar-powered cars in qualifying and the race, while the Porsches appeared to be a little behind on its home turf.
The day started well for the French team DS Penske, with Jean-Eric Vergne and Stoffel Vandoorne both finishing third and fifth in practice.
A remark that rang true, as Vandoorne then easily qualified for the final phase of qualifying, first in his group, while Vergne failed, missing out on progressing by five thousandths in group B. Vandoorne then went on to be dominated by Envision’s Sebastien Buemi, who later became the polesitter ahead of Sam Bird. The front row was 100% Jaguar in terms of engines, ahead of the DS Penske of Vandoorne and the NIO 333 of Dan Ticktum.Vandoorne's pole position in Sao Paulo just four weeks ago did not bring him luck. The Belgian driver had to use up a lot of energy to keep his position, only to be overtaken at the end of the race by those who had remained behind able to use his draft.
