Jake Dennis took in the roars from the crowd as he took pole position for the London E-Prix.
One year ago, Dennis took victory in Saturday’s race in London, and he is now in the best possible position to repeat that feat.
The Andretti driver beat championship leader Stoffel Vandoorne to pole position after setting 1:13.161.
Dennis had to beat Nyck De Vries in the Semi-Finals and Maximilian Gunther in the quarter-finals.
