The new FIA Formula E World Champion, Pascal Wehrlein, has said that he never lost faith in the chance to take glory, having been over 20 points adrift just two race weekends ago.

The German arrived in London 12 points behind, but after winning Race 1 on Saturday and finishing second in Race 2, he overcame the deficit to take the title by six points, after both Jaguar drivers Nick Cassidy and Mitch Evans ran into problems.

After the race, a virtually-incredulous Wehrlein praised his team and put the success down to both him and them never losing sight of what was at stake.

“I don’t know where to start,” he said. “The race was hard. Obviously, I knew I had to attack and I had to get in front of the Jags. think Mitch defended quite hard, but I still tried to overtake and pass. I don’t know what happened in the end, if it was due to the safety car that got quite close to the attack mode or because he missed it.

“But nevertheless, I think what we did this weekend, especially, we knew that yesterday and today are the days and we need to be super focused, concentrated, and outperform probably what the car can do and what we could do here in London, because this has never been a track which is good for our car. I think we did that. I think we clearly showed some great pace. I’m very happy for myself, but even more for the team.”

“It feels good. I don’t know what to say, it’s definitely not expected. You turn up, you have a chance. But I always believed in it. The last couple of weeks, every day before my day was starting and my day finished, I said, I can do this. We can do this. Even if the last couple of races, the performance was not that strong and I was struggling a bit with the car and what I felt in the car. I said, It doesn’t matter. I could see it. I taught myself every day, and I’m just super proud of everyone in the team.”
