Pascal Wehrlein took a strong 13 points from the Monaco E-Prix to extend his points lead at the top of the 2023-24 ABB FIA Formula E World Championship.
Driving the #94 TAG Heuer Porsche 99X Electric, Wehrlein took his third pole position of the season so far after a stellar performance throughout the qualifying session to line-up at the head of the grid for the 31-lap encounter.
Wehrlein’s group qualifying efforts saw him make the duel section for the seventh time in eight races, by far the most successful record in the 11-team series.
António Félix da Costa, in the #13 TAG Heuer Porsche 99X Electric, ended the race in seventh position after a brilliant recovery drive, having been delayed by another competitor’s incident at the tight Fairmont chicane.
Earlier in the day he had enjoyed a strong qualifying group session, making it through to the quarter-finals and a seventh-place start, his best of the campaign so far.
The combined points haul of 19 points means that the TAG Heuer Porsche Formula E Team has elevated itself from third to second position in the teams’ standings.
The result ensures that Wehrlein extends his ABB FIA Formula E world championship points lead to eight points over rival Nick Cassidy, and becomes the first driver this season to cross the 100 point mark as he leaves Monaco on 102.
