Wins For Wehrlein And Mueller In New York

RACE RE-CAP

• Pascal Wehrlein took tips from Mahindra sim racing counterpart Lucas Mueller to win the penultimate round of the Race at Home Challenge in New York.
• Mueller went head-to-head with his racing hero Wehrlein earlier this week in preparation for the Grand Final weekend – (watch the full video below).
•  Victory as well for Mueller on the Challenge Grid secures the German a front row start for tomorrow’s ‘winner-takes-all’ race alongside Kevin Siggy.

FAST FACTS

• Double points; a win for Wehrlein gives him a 12-point buffer to Stoffel Vandoorne in second, but with double points (54!) on offer tomorrow the Mahindra driver is still well within reach.
• Winner-takes-all; after accumulating points for seven rounds, the Challenge Grid is set with Kevin Siggy and Lucas Mueller locking out the front row in the fight to win a Formula E test drive.
• Back to Berlin; the German capital is the venue of choice for the Grand Final of the ABB Formula E Race at Home Challenge, with both races taking place at the historic Tempelhof Airport.

PASCAL WEHRLEIN

“It was a good race, but it was also one of the most difficult ones for me. I did not see the starting lights because of the halo. I tried to switch the camera so it would change to a TV position, and then I could not change it back anymore. The whole race I was driving with the wrong camera… it was really hard, but I was so happy that I had a small gap and I could manage it. Otherwise it would have been a very difficult race for me!”
