In a one-sided finale Vergne put 0.817s over da Costa, setting a 1m08.523s as da Costa endured a wayward lap - arguably losing his shot at pole with a slide at Turn 2 and confirming the result by lighting up the tyres in the final corner.
Vergne put three tenths over Mitch Evans to book his place in the final, easing the gap open over the opening pair of sectors before finishing the job against the Jaguar driver by doubling his advantage in the final sector.
