Pascal Wehrlein toughts on Cape Town ePrix

Cape Town E-Prix,  round 5
Saturday, February 25th 2023



Pascal Wehrlein
Porsche works driver (#94)




You had a rocky start to the race weekend in Hyderabad but it ended on a positive note. What have you learned heading to Cape Town?



“It certainly wasn’t an easy weekend. We only get two practice sessions for each race and so it’s not ideal for preparation when you miss out on one because of an incident. Still, we made the best of it.



Our mechanics worked through the night with only an hour’s sleep to put my car back on the track. I was in the hospital until late at night. So with this in mind, I’m very happy with the result. These points are crucial for the championship.”
 





Not everything ran to plan in qualifying. What happened there and what do you expect in Cape Town?



“Because of the missed practice, we didn’t have much time to tweak the setup of my car to the track in Hyderabad. In this respect, the qualifying is no indication of our true performance level.


In Cape Town, we face a new track with new conditions. We need to find out what it takes to be fast on this circuit. Like all the others, we’re starting from scratch.



As far as the city of Cape Town is concerned, this is definitely a highlight of the season. I’m looking forward to it and I’m thrilled to have the chance to race in such a fantastic place.”
