Who is Miami E-Prix winner Pascal Wehrlein? Know all about the reigning Formula E champion

Pascal Wehrlein may have clinched victory at the Miami E-Prix thanks to a dramatic turn of events, but make no mistake—his win was far from a fluke. The TAG Heuer Porsche driver is the reigning Formula E World Champion, having secured the title last season, and his latest triumph is yet another testament to his skill, timing, and tactical brilliance.
Pascal Wehrlein’s win in Miami is not a surprise
Pascal Wehrlein’s win in Miami followed a chaotic three-car crash that temporarily threw the race into disarray. Amid the confusion, the German driver seized the opportunity to power through to the front in spectacular fashion.
But this win wasn’t just about being in the right place at the right time. Wehrlein had already proven his pace earlier this season by registering the fastest lap in both the Sao Paulo and Mexico City E-Prix. Miami was less a lucky break and more a long-overdue reward for his consistency and form.
Currently sitting third in the Drivers’ Championship standings, Wehrlein boasts of 1 win, 2 podiums, and 51 points this season. In total, his career stats now include 8 wins, 14 podium finishes, and 8 pole positions.
Pascal Wehrlein’s journey to Formula E
The German-Mauritian driver started his racing career in karts in 2003 at the age of nine. He went on to enter the Formula 3 Euro Series in 2012 and then the DTM, before finally landing at Formula 1. There he started as a reserve driver for Mercedes in 2014 and went on to make his F1 debut two years later with Manor Racing. He moved to Sauber in 2017 and even had a tiny stint at Ferrari before switching to Formula E.
Since switching from Formula 1 to Formula E with Mahindra Racing in 2018, Wehrlein has steadily carved his path. After two seasons with Mahindra, he joined TAG Heuer Porsche in 2021. Though his first season with the team was winless, he quickly turned things around. With three E-Prix victories across the last two seasons, his Miami win only adds to a growing tally—one that seems set to climb even higher with many more races left on the calendar.
More recently, Wehrlein has expanded into endurance racing, making his debut at the 2025 24 Hours of Daytona. He’s also set to compete in the prestigious 24 Hours of Le Mans.
Off the track, Wehrlein has a stunning wife, Sibel and the couple are parents to their two-year-old daughter, Soleya.
