Pascal Wehrlein knows what needs to be done to revive title challenge: “Everything is possible”
Pascal Wehrlein led the Formula E title race during the first half of Season 12, but things have changed significantly for the Porsche driver in recent rounds. The German has slipped to fourth in the Drivers' Standings with 101 points after a frustrating weekend in Monaco. Luck did not appear to be on Wehrlein's side in the principality, contributing to his drop in the championship order. However, the reigning world champion has not given up hope and has outlined what he believes is needed to put his title challenge back on track, while also setting his sights on a strong result in the next race.
Reflecting on recent events, he added, "In Berlin, we were clearly the quickest, almost got two pole positions that weekend, to a weekend [in Monaco] which was a bit more difficult on pace, but still good enough for good points or podium positions. That's how it is. You cannot be dominant from track to track, but I'd say clearly, in Monaco we under-delivered."
Wehrlein's Monaco weekend was particularly unfortunate. In Round 9, he was involved in a collision with teammate Nico Muller, costing him a potential strong result. Then, in Round 10, a puncture effectively ended any hopes of a significant points haul.
"The frustrating part is that in the last four races, there was quite a lot going on. Still, we are not far behind in the championship, so everything is possible. I try to focus on the next race, focus on what I can do there, and that's it," he told the publication.
With seven races still to come, Wehrlein remains firmly in contention and believes there is enough time to turn his season around.
