Formula E: Huges nips Evans for pole in 2nd Diriyah race
Jake Hughes claimed his first Formula E pole for the second race of the Diriyah E-Prix, just beating Mitch Evans who topped Practice 3 earlier.
However, none of this matters as the two Porsche-powered drivers of Pascal Wehrlein starting 5th and Jake Dennis starting 6th appear to have the race pace on the field.
Yesterday they started 9th and 11th respectively and drove through the field to finish 1st and 2nd. Starting higher up today, they are favored for the win.
