How Pascal Wehrlein is faring in Formula E this season
Pascal Wehrlein currently tops the Formula E Drivers’ Standings with 83 points. However, the competition remains tight this season, with several drivers close behind. He is followed by Mahindra Racing’s Edoardo Mortara in second place with 72 points, while Jaguar’s Mitch Evans sits third with 65 points.Wehrlein has secured three podium finishes in the first six races. He narrowly missed out on a podium in Sao Paulo, finishing fourth, before taking victory in the first race of the Jeddah E-Prix. He also claimed podium finishes in Miami and most recently in Madrid, finishing third on both occasions.Wehrlein admitted after his Madrid podium that he was not expecting a trophy finish after contact with Mahindra Racing’s Nyck de Vries left his car significantly damaged. He said, “I think with what happened very early in the race with [Nyck] de Vries hitting the back of my car, it damaged the car quite badly, with my rear wing just hanging and touching the tyre. I wasn’t expecting to finish on the podium today, but even better, we did! Who knows what would have been possible without that contact and with the car intact.”“In the last couple of laps, I just had to accept that I was not in the fight for the win. I backed off slightly because I was low on energy, but still kept myself in a position for exactly what happened on that last lap between Dan [Ticktum] and Mitch [Evans], which allowed me to take the podium and score good points,” he added.Formula E drivers will return to racing next month, at the Berlin double header from May 1-9.Also read: Exclusive interview: Edoardo Mortara shines for Mahindra Racing this season, says “important to keep your feet on the ground”
