Sacha Fenestraz has been stripped of Monaco pole position, elevating McLaren NEOM driver Jack Hughes to first on the grid for the Monaco E-Prix.
The Nissan driver will now start second.
Fenestraz had dominated the final qualifying Duel against Hughes, who succumbed to the pressure and made a mistake as he tried to match the Frenchman’s times.
Yet Fenestraz’s pole lap was under investigation and has now been deleted due to “a power usage over [the] regulatory limit of 350kW”.
.@sachafenestraz now be starting in P2 and @NatoNorman in P3 for the #MonacoEPrix 👊
It might not be Pole Position but we’re still buzzing and super proud of the whole team ❤️@Nissan @nissanfrance #FeelElectric #NissanFormulaE #MonacoEPrix pic.twitter.com/36IqCU8lVv
