The German had joined the small British team Manor for the 2016 season, thanks in part to the team&#8217;s engines being supplied by Mercedes. After scoring the team&#8217;s only point, he was forced to find another seat for 2017 following the team&#8217;s bankruptcy.<\/p>\n<p>While Force India preferred Esteban Ocon and Valtteri Bottas was named as Nico Rosberg&#8217;s replacement at Mercedes, he joined Sauber, somewhat by default. Despite a rather convincing campaign that resulted in the only points for the Swiss team, he was officially replaced for 2018 by Ferrari prot\u00e9g\u00e9 and F2 champion Charles Leclerc.<\/p>\n<p>As Mercedes prepares to begin its final season in the German touring car championship to focus on Formula E, the young 23-year-old driver will be joined by Paul Di Resta, who retains his spot after hoping for a seat at Williams. His other teammates will be Gary Paffett, Edoardo Mortara, Lucas Auer, and likely Dani Juncadella.<\/p>\n<p>Pascal Wehrlein was keen to respond after the announcement of his return to DTM: \u00ab I have great memories of DTM, not only because of my title victory in 2015 but also through the team spirit and many incredible experiences I had with the guys. \u00bb<\/p>\n<p>Despite his Formula 1 stint, the young Mercedes driver continued to closely observe the championship: \u00ab I followed the DTM closely during my time in Formula 1 and even participated in a few races to observe the team and support them. Many things have changed since my last race in the season finale at Hockenheim in 2015, but I love challenges and I am eager to try our new car on the track for the first time. \u00bb concluded the German.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As expected, Pascal Wehrlein will remain a Mercedes driver in 2018 but this time as a DTM driver, the German touring car championship, for the brand with the star.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":61,"featured_media":38075,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1,1749],"tags":[11,1697],"class_list":["post-10925","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-f1","category-news","tag-11","tag-wehrlein"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.2 -
