Formula E in London: An overview of the qualifying groups for Race 1

Formula E’s 12th season has reached its final stop! It’s time for the title race to be decided in the metropolis of London. In the Drivers’ Championship, we have a thrilling four-way battle between defending champion Oliver Rowland, Jake Dennis, Pascal Wehrlein and Mitch Evans. Pole position is crucial on the tight ExCeL Circuit. Failing to secure a place in the top 10 on the grid could spell the end of any title hopes!

Drivers in the odd-numbered championship positions start in Group A, whilst those in the even-numbered positions start in Group B. The aim here is to finish in the top four positions in the group, as this is the only way to reach the knockout stages. There, two drivers face off against each other in the quarter-finals, semi-finals and final, battling for pole position and the first three World Championship points of the race day.
