McLaren's Taylor Barnard broke the record for youngest-ever Formula E polesitter after destroying Oliver Rowland in the qualifying final.
Barnard secured pole for the second race of the Jeddah E-Prix, courtesy of a phenomenal 1:14.804.
It is an all-Maserati second row, with former world champion Stoffel Vandoorne starting the race from third ahead of Jake Hughes in fourth.
In a qualifying surprise, reigning world champion Pascal Wehrlein failed to progress to the duels for the first time this season.
Update: Vandoorne will start from last after being disqualified from qualifying due to his fire extinguisher not being armed.
