Porsche "need to make step forward" in Formula E, says Wehrlein

Pascal Wehrlein believes that he and Porsche “need to make a step forward” having lost the lead in both Formula E championships after a disappointing run of form.

Neither Wehrlein or Porsche scored any points on-the-road in the Monaco E-Prix, with the German driver finishing in 11th after a difficult afternoon where he failed to make progress from 12th on the grid.

He was promoted to 10th post-race after a penalty for Jaguar’s Sam Bird, but the result still marks six races in succession where Wehrlein has failed to finish on the podium, which is in stark contrast to the beginning of the season where he claimed two wins and a second place from the opening three events.

Wehrlein claimed a number of factors contributed to the poor performance in Monte Carlo.

“I was not really happy with the balance in the race,” he said.

“Made a bit of progress in the beginning but then taking the Attack Modes we lost a lot of positions again, both times we lost positions.

“It was just a difficult race to be honest, or a difficult day. Compromised practice session this morning, qualifying not having the pace and in the race we made less progress than usual.”
