Taylor Barnard, a young gun on pole!

A 20-year-old driver, Britain’s Taylor Barnard (NEOM McLaren), will start from pole position this Saturday at 3:04 p.m. for the 8th Monaco E-Prix, alongside Oliver Rowland (Nissan), the provisional leader of the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship. The qualifying session at noon lived up to expectations but ended prematurely for Rowland, who made a mistake in the Sainte-Dévote corner at the very start of the final for pole position.

“It’s great to be on pole, the team did a fantastic job,” said the youngest driver on the Formula E grid, delighted with his second pole position of the year after the one he secured in Jeddah, mid-February. The young man has been breaking records since his official debut last year in Monaco, when he stepped in at short notice to replace his team leader Sam Bird, who had been injured at Sainte Dévote in Free Practice 1. Sainte Dévote, just like Rowland this morning.

Barnard is the youngest ever driver in Formula E history to compete in an E-Prix (Monaco 2024, 14th), to finish in the points (Berlin 2024, 10th and 8th), to finish on the podium (Sao Paulo 2024, 3rd), and then to secure pole position (Jeddah 2024). He will be ideally placed to try to claim a historic victory this afternoon at 15:04 CET. For the record, the last three polemen, Wehrlein, Hughes and Evans, failed to convert their pole in a win…

This impressive pole position comes less than a week after McLaren announced its withdrawal from Formula E at the end of the season due to a busy racing schedule (F1, Indycar, WEC from 2027). All the more reason to enjoy it, but the introduction of Pit Boost this afternoon, for the first time in Monaco, could shake things up. All drivers will have to stop during the 8th Monaco E-Prix to recharge 15% of their batteries in ultra-fast mode.

Barnard will have to watch closely Rowland, next to him on the first row, but also Dan Ticktum (Cupra Kiro), the fastest in Free Practice 1 and 2 this morning, and Nyck de Vries (Mahindra), the 2022 World Champion, positioned on the second row. The Attack Mode (15% extra power for four minutes) will have to be activated twice, in the Monte-Carlo Casino sector, making overtaking easier. Two wild cards to be played at the best possible moment, hoping they won’t be wasted by a yellow flag or a safety car… It’s going to be hot, very hot.
