Formula E’s Pascal Wehrlein had a dominant weekend under the lights of Diriyah, winning both races in a dream double-header for the Porsche driver.
Pascal Wehrlein came out on top over the weekend at rounds two and three of the Formula E World Championship in Diriyah, Saudi Arabia, winning both races and taking the lead in the title fight.
Wehrlein was hot on Bird’s tail, and while the British driver fended him off for a number of laps, the German finally made the move stick on lap 30, diving up the inside to take first position.
On lap 17, Rast went through the attack mode section, allowing Wehrlein to move into first and charge ahead for the rest of the race with Dennis in second. But just as Wehrlein was ahead all weekend, Dennis was all over the back of him in both races, and is no doubt looking to retake the championship fight next time out on the streets of Hyderabad.“You know you’re having a really good season when you’re a little bit disappointed with P2,” Dennis said after the race.
But McLaren’s introduction to the electric championship has so far been an impressive one, and the pairing of veteran Rast with rookie Hughes has caught deserving attention. After Hughes’ impressive debut in Mexico, where he scored points in fifth place, he was the fastest in round three’s qualifying, earning him his — and McLaren’s — first pole position in the series.
