Former F1 driver Pascal Wehrlein believes Formula E is an interesting championship to follow
The German driver, who has been with the electric series since its fifth season, feels that Formula E is a unique single-seater racing category in its own right. Pascal Wehrlein highlighted its road relevance with the direction of the automotive industry globally, where some famous teams and manufacturers are involved in FE. The former Sauber F1 driver also believes that the series has great potential and has evolved from its inception in Season 1, where the cars were underwhelming compared to the Gen 3 cars used now.
Upon being asked what made Formula E a unique series to follow, Wehrlein pointed to the level of talent and progress that the series has witnessed over the years. He said:
The German driver clinched second place in the season opener in Mexico after starting sixth on the grid. In F1, Wehrlein was a reserve driver for Force India in 2015 and made his debut in 2016 with the Manor Racing team. While his career in the sport ended after a final season with the Sauber team in 2017, his latest outing in F1 was from 2019 to 2020 as a test driver for Ferrari. The German made his Formula E debut with Mahindra Racing and has flourished in the electric racing series since.
