Formula E in Shanghai: The qualifying groups for Saturday at a glance

The Shanghai International Circuit invites Formula E. Most recently, Oliver Rowland won three pole positions in a row! Whether this masterful run will be broken will be decided shortly. The drivers in the group stage are once again evenly matched. The decisive factor will be who can make the most of the last millimetre of the permanent circuit and find the best line through the famous first corners.

The drivers in the odd-numbered championship positions start in Group A, the drivers in the odd-numbered positions in Group B. The aim here is to make it into the top four positions in their group, as this is the only way to reach the duel phase. There, two drivers will compete against each other in the quarter-finals, semi-finals and final, fighting for pole position and the first three championship points. The following groups have been formed for qualifying on Saturday.
