Wehrlein Dominates Mexico City with Stunning Pole Position in Qualification

 

Pascal Wehrlein demonstrated his dominance at the Mexico City E-Prix once again, claiming his second consecutive pole position and becoming the only driver to achieve four poles at this location. After a tough start to the season, marked by a spectacular crash in São Paulo that forced a chassis change, Wehrlein delivered a flawless drive.

Equally thrilling was the battle for pole position against his Porsche teammate, Antonio Felix da Costa. Wehrlein clocked a 1m10.984s lap, edging out Da Costa by just 0.125s despite a slight slide in the final corner. During the Super Pole, the same pair showcased exceptional speed, with Da Costa setting an impressive 1m10.739s in the semi-finals. However, despite his earlier dominance, Da Costa faced car issues in the final stages, which he communicated over the radio.

Porsche’s dominance was evident throughout the session, highlighting their technical prowess and strategic brilliance. Jean-Eric Vergne delivered a strong performance in the final qualifying session, while Nissan’s Oliver Rowland narrowly missed the chance to challenge Wehrlein in the semi-finals, losing time in the final sector. Rowland also sent championship leader Mitch Evans out of contention early in the quarter-finals.

Midfield battles added to the excitement, with David Beckmann, Stoffel Vandoorne, and Taylor Barnard fighting fiercely despite tricky weather conditions. Grid incidents included penalties for Nyck de Vries and Jake Hughes for impeding, while Robin Frijns and Sebastien Buemi had their best laps deleted due to throttle pedal offenses.

Wehrlein’s commanding win sets the tone for the championship, and an enthralling season lies ahead. With Porsche in such strong form, more success seems highly likely.
