In-form Nick Cassidy makes it back-to-back poles in the NYCEPrix weekend after beating Antonio Felix da Costa in the final duel. Full FormulaE qualifying report and results:
Armed with effectively an all-new car after his Turn 6 crash in the deluge that ended Saturday's race prematurely, Cassidy worked his way to the final once more to take on da Costa - in a battle between Formula E's most recent polesitters.
But after the session, Cassidy dropped to the bottom of the timing boards with a 30-place grid penalty, having changed his battery pack and cooling amid the repairs to his car. Da Costa hit back to lead by the second sector by a scant 0.003s, meaning that the eventual 0.15s advantage that carried the DS Techeetah driver to the final was all produced in the final sector.
Cassidy made his way past Stoffel Vandoorne as they battled for a semi-finals place, picking up an early advantage and letting it grow as Vandoorne took too much kerb at Turn 12/13 to end his hopes of making it into the top four. Sette Camara's time was the best out of those eliminated, producing a fifth-place grid slot for the race with Vandoorne, Evans and de Vries behind him.
