Pascal Wehrlein became the first driver to win two races this season on the final day of the Misano E-Prix double-header.
Pascal Wehrlein celebrated his unexpected victory in the final Misano E-Prix race as a significant redemption for Porsche, following Antonio Felix da Costa’s disqualification. Da Costa’s disqualification stemmed from a spring issue that did not comply with technical regulations, casting a shadow over his initial win on Saturday. Porsche displayed impressive race pace throughout the weekend at the Misano World Circuit Marco Simoncelli, setting the stage for a potential second-place finish for Wehrlein. However, Oliver Rowland’s retirement on the last lap due to an energy miscalculation gifted Wehrlein the victory, making him the first driver to claim two wins this season. Wehrlein acknowledged the team’s progress in qualifying and emphasized the importance of consistency and diligence to avoid setbacks like disqualifications or penalties. Despite the elation of victory, Wehrlein remained mindful of the unpredictable nature of the races and the need for continuous hard work in the competitive season.
