Sebastien Buemi has taken his first pole position since the 2023 Berlin E-Prix in Mexico and his 17th in his Formula E career.
Buemi was a surprise candidate for pole position, but the Swiss driver had been quick through practice and continued that form into qualifying.
He beat World Champion Oliver Rowland in the quarter-final section of the duels, and then went on to beat Mitch Evans in the semi-final.
However, in the final, Taylor Barnard set the quickest lap, but the young Brit lost his lap time due to track limits at the final corner. Barnard admitted he hit the wall at Turn 9, and that had an impact on his drivability through the final corner.
That meant Buemi’s 1:05.249 was enough to secure pole position in Mexico. The Envision Racing driver will start alongside Taylor Barnard.
Edoardo Mortara will start third for Mahindra Racing, ahead of Mitch Evans in the Jaguar.
Nico Müller was beaten by Barnard in the quarter-final stages, but was the fastest loser and will start the race from fifth place. The Swiss driver will start ahead of Dan Ticktum, who lost out to Evans.
Jake Dennis, the race winner last time out in São Paulo, will start from seventh, with World Champion Oliver Rowland starting eighth.
Maximilian Günther will line up in ninth place for DS Penske, ahead of António Félix da Costa, who will be happy with his starting position considering he failed to set a lap in FP2 due to a brake-by-wire issue.
Pascal Wehrlein will start 11th after missing out on the duels. Porsche has been incredibly quick in Mexico, but the German driver struggled to extract pace from the car in the group stages.
Norman Nato will line up alongside Wehrlein in 12th. Nick Cassidy will start 13th for Citroën.
Zane Maloney will start 14th for Lola, ahead of his teammate Lucas di Grassi, who will start 15th due to the five-place grid penalty he incurred in São Paulo.
Joel Eriksson will start 16th in the second Envision Racing car. Felipe Drugovich will start 17th after taking a three-place grid penalty, while Jean-Éric Vergne will start 18th after his own three-place grid drop.
Nyck de Vries will be bitterly disappointed with his qualifying session, as he will start 19th in his Mahindra. Pepe Martí will start from the back of the grid after his penalty from São Paulo.
