    2. Nicolas Prost, e.dams-Renault, 1:32.117s
    3. Franck Montagny, Andretti Autosport, 1:32.143s
    4. Bruno Senna, Mahindra Racing, 1:32.249s
    5. Sam Bird, Virgin Racing, 1:32.292s
    6. Lucas di Grassi, Audi Sport ABT, 1:32.293s
    7. Karun Chandhok, Mahindra Racing, 1:32.369s
    8. Jerome d’Ambrosio, Dragon Racing, 1:32.646s
    9. Stephane Sarrazin, Venturi, 1:32.663s
    10. Nick Heidfeld, Venturi, 1:32.775s
    11. Nelson Piquet, China Racing, 1:32.808s
    12. Jaime Alguersuari, Virgin Racing, 1:32.821s
    13. Charles Pic, Andretti Autosport, 1:32.841s
    14. Daniel Abt, Audi Sport ABT, 1:32.867s
    15. Jarno Trulli, Trulli, 1:32.892s
    16. Oriol Servia, Dragon Racing, 1:33.411s
    17. Antonio Garcia, China Racing, 1:33.469s
    18. Takuma Sato, Amlin Aguri, 1:35.425s
    19. Michela Cerruti, Trulli, 1:35.444s
    20. Katherine Legge, Amlin Aguri, 1:38.112s

    Buemi has topped the timesheets in 4 of the 5 pre-season tests, so perhaps an early favourite.

    Looking forward to this weekend. Will be interesting to see the Senna, prost and piquet names battling it out.

    Don't forget ITV4 at 8am tomorrow

    Looking really smart, I am vouching for Nick Heidfeld in the inaugural season. Solid and consistent.

    I know this sounds mean, but i want this series to fail badly. it's always smacked of the green lobby trying to ruin motorsports.

    I'd like it to do well.. Then F1 won't be going in the same direction, and even if it does, there is going to be more technology available to stop it from becoming a laughing stock.

    Shame I can't watch it live as I'm going to uni but 6pm is my time slot ;)

    Legge reckons that Turn 3 is "unrealistically tight", so that could make things interesting unless the circuit is altered.

    The first thing formula e is doing right is getting fans to come to a Chinese grand prix lol.

    Missed quali, but appear to have tuned in perfectly for the race.

    This is actually pretty enjoyable, the TV coverage is shocking though! Graphics are cluttered and colours don't make things clear. Few replays either.

    Why the minimum pit stop time? Pretty much kills any excitement. Pit lane is also way too long.

    Glad they are ok. But that prost move was a touch of the old man.

    Yeah, terrible move from Prost, Heidfeld was lucky there.
