Di Grassi earns first career FE pole

Lucas di Grassi earned his first career Formula E pole, jumping from third in the group stage to first with a 1m,9.454s lap in the Super Pole shootout for the Buenos Aires ePrix.

Jean-Eric Vergne was fastest in the group stages for the second race in a row with a lap of 1m8.7s, but he was unable to replicate that during Super Pole and will start second. Current championship leader Sebastien Buemi is third, ahead of NextEV NIO teammates Oliver Turvey and Nelson Piquet Jr.

DS Virgin Racing's Jose Maria Lopez, who was on pace to set the fastest lap of the session, clipped the wall on the exit of Turn 7 and broke the rear suspension. He will start 18th for his home race.
