Kusk Maini topped Formula E's Rookie Free Practice session at the Jeddah Corniche circuit, setting a fastest time of 1m17.184s in the final minutes of the 40-minute session.

Nissan's Gabriele Mini finished second, 0.304s behind Maini, while Mikkel Jensen secured third place for Cupra Kiro, just 0.073s further back. Maserati MSG Racing's Theo Pourchaire and DS Penske's Daniil Kvyat completed the top five.

A notable incident occurred between Envision Racing's Zak O'Sullivan (P6) and Jaguar TCS Racing's Jamie Chadwick at Turn 8, resulting in minor front-end damage to both cars.

The remaining positions were filled by:

• P7: Thomas Preining (TAG Heuer Porsche)
• P8: Jak Crawford (Andretti)
• P9: Jamie Chadwick (Jaguar TCS Racing)
• P10: Tatiana Calderon (Lola Yamaha Abt)
• P11: Alex Dunne (NEOM McLaren)

Teams utilized the session to test the new Pit Boost feature, which will debut in the weekend's first race. The practice included fast-charging stops, penalty procedures, and car repairs, with Jaguar notably performing a front wing change on Chadwick's car mid-session.

The Jeddah E-Prix weekend continues with Free Practice 1 at 1:00pm ET.
