Stoffel Vandoorne on pole for the Hong Kong E-prix

Stoffel Vandoorne qualified on pole through wet conditions this morning in Hong Kong. In typical Formula E style, it was a frantic and exciting session, with the former McLaren driver coming out on top.

The race, which starts at 8 am UK time is forecast to be wet. The first ever real wet race in Formula E's short 50 race history.

After Vandoorne, who moved to Formula E for the start of this season, qualified on pole, spoke of his "great" achievement.

"It's great to be on pole today for the 50th E-Prix race. It'll be tricky conditions out there, as it was qualifying, so to do have done the job, especially when it's so challenging, was great," he told the BBC.
