With six cars setting lap times under 1:30.000s, the competition is hotting up here in Rome as we approach Qualifying at 11:45 (local time). Tune in to all the action here. 

Halfway through the session, Geox Dragon's Jose-Maria Lopez ploughed into the chicane on Turn 21, damaging the front of his car. Stopped on track, the red flag brought the session to a halt temporarily while Lopez's car was recovered. With a total of 21 turns, the Rome track is not only one of the longest but also one of the most testing in the Formula E calendar.
