Porsche finally secured its first Formula E title courtesy of Pascal Wehrlein winning the drivers’ championship.
“Porsche team principal Florian Modlinger acknowledges the hard work needed to bring the German manufacturer to the top of Formula E after initial struggles in the series. Despite sporadic success, Porsche only achieved its first victory in Season 8, leading to the team being dubbed FE’s ‘sleeping giant.’ Pascal Wehrlein’s recent world championship win in London solidifies Porsche’s transformation under Modlinger’s leadership. Crucial to Porsche’s success has been Modlinger’s calming influence and strategic approach to addressing weaknesses, particularly in adapting to the Gen3 era. Porsche’s goal in Season 8 was to establish itself as a frontrunner from the onset of the Gen3 races in Season 9, resulting in early successes for the team.”
