Audi’s Lucas di Grassi has been stripped of pole position for ABB FIA Formula E’s Santiago E-Prix due to a technical infringement, so Nissan’s Sebastien Buemi will start from the top spot.

Audi confirmed di Grassi was excluded from qualifying due to an infraction of the slow in-lap procedure after his group qualifying run. Di Grassi described the offence as "the most stupid rule motorsport has ever created... It was after the qualifiying lap was done".
