Mr Wehrlein, do you remember your sentence: I would like to want to be in formula 1 as quickly as possible, everyone?
I told the? I remember dark.
you said this sentence in October of 2015, as they had won the DTM title as the youngest Champion at the age of 21.
I’ve got the title at 17. October 20-years gained, the next day I was 21. Yes, the sentence still has its validity. But the circumstances have to fit. I need a good Team, I can also show my performance. I have now been in formula E. Mahindra Team just fits everything. And it makes me insanely fun formula E to race with a competitive car.
you entered from 2013 to 2015 in the DTM, and changed in the world of formula 1 to the Manor and Clean, returned in 2018 to Mercedes in the DTM and launched in 2019 in the formula E. Why the foray into formula 1 was so short?
It was a mega time in the formula 1. At Manor, I had taken the only rider to have points. The car was unfortunately too slow. At Clean, we were able to keep up with a year-on-year engine in the beginning. But it was during the season worse. Nevertheless, I had brought five points. For the circumstances the results were good. But of course I would ride in the front. And clearly, my goal is to drive again in formula 1. Only the Team and car must match.
What you need as a driver to get into formula 1?
Talent, luck, and above all a promoter needs. Without Talent it is not. This should be clear. On the market there are a lot of very good drivers. And a team boss has to decide who gets the Cockpit. Because luck can play a role. I also had no its own financial Budget, that I could bring and had to rely on sponsors. And no one had bought a Cockpit as was the case with others. An example: In the formula 3, it is talking about a Budget of half a Million euros per season. Without sponsors you can’t. But it is precisely in the formula 3 for the professional racing interesting. Anyone who as well, has to earn chances later with racing really money.
After two years of formula 1, you went back to Mercedes in the DTM, although it was known that Mercedes would get off with the end of the season 2018 from the DTM. It was a career slump.
the tour was not my Option car to drive. I would like to stay in a formula car. I come from the formula sport. And that’s why I decided for the formula E. I would like to have an open Cockpit, the wind up to 250 km/h feel. The formula cars are smaller and more agile. In the comparison, as when driving in a road sports car, or Bus.
you will drive for Mahindra Racing and have taken over the Cockpit of Nick Heidfeld. They found the fair that her Ex-employer, Mercedes had refused early release to go to the start of the season in December at the Start?
That was not a nice Situation. Because my new Team I can, therefore, also a rejection issue. I honestly have to say that I was never so happy as in my current Situation with my Team in the formula E. I’m very comfortable in the Team. The feeling I had missed in years past.
you are started in January in Marrakech, but after an accident eliminated. Then there was the second in Santiago de Chile. And in Mexico, the energy went out of them 50 meters before the finish line and had to let pass the Audi drivers di Grassi. Then they were displaced due to Abkürzens a Chicane after a time penalty in the sixth place. This is for you a good Start to the formula E?
I’m a beginner, my performance is good. Sure, it has annoyed me that the car is 50 meters before the finish line, the energy goes out. But I am after all from the Pole Position, has extra points. The last lap was pretty chaotic.
this season, the cars go with the 340 instead of 272 HP. And with a new Mc Laren battery. So that you can 45 minutes to the race with a car to drive through. As a result, the car change is not necessary.
