It feels a long time ago now, but there was a spell when Pascal Wehrlein’s squeals of derision from the cockpit were just as commonplace as a Mitch Evans machine gun-style F-bomb unloading or a brutalist Oliver Rowland takedown of a Formula E opponent.

Not now. There’s a new Wehrlein on the airwaves, one that gives little earache to his lyrically precise Porsche engineer Fabrice Roussel.

Formula E is partly about energy saving, yet Wehrlein extends those skills to his own percentage countdown going on in his brain and in his reflexology at the wheel.
