How Wehrlein was squeezed out of all his F1 chances

Pascal Wehrlein's career in Formula 1 faced significant challenges, particularly when Force India chose Esteban Ocon over him in 2017 despite Wehrlein's earlier achievements. His strong performance as a Manor driver and being the youngest DTM champion did not secure him a lasting position in F1, as team compatibility played a crucial role in the decision-making process.

After his stint with Sauber, Wehrlein's prospects diminished further when the team opted for Charles Leclerc, influenced by existing sponsorship ties. Although Wehrlein's talent was recognized, he was ultimately seen as a driver who could be replaced, leading him to find success outside of F1 in Formula E.
