Pascal Wehrlein (German pronunciation: [pasˈkal ˈveːɐ̯.laɪ̯n]; born 18 October 1994) is a German and Mauritian racing driver, currently competing in Formula E for Porsche. In formula racing, Wehrlein competed under the German flag in Formula One from 2016 to 2017, and won the 2023–24 Formula E World Championship with Porsche.

Born and raised in Sigmaringen to a German father and a Mauritian mother, Wehrlein began karting aged eight, winning several regional championships before progressing to junior formulae in 2010. He won his first championship at the ADAC Formel Masters in 2011, before graduating to the Formula 3 Euro Series, where he finished runner-up in his debut season. Wehrlein moved to touring car racing in 2013, signing with Mücke in DTM. He moved to HWA the following season, breaking several records before winning the championship in 2015 to become the youngest-ever DTM champion aged 20.

A member of the Mercedes Junior Team since 2014, Wehrlein signed for Manor in 2016, making his Formula One debut at the Australian Grand Prix. He scored Manor's only championship point at the Austrian Grand Prix, before moving to Sauber in 2017. After missing the opening two rounds following an injury at the Race of Champions, Wehrlein scored further points finishes in Spain and Azerbaijan. Despite scoring all of Sauber's points that season, he was replaced by Charles Leclerc for 2018, ending his Formula One career. After another season in DTM with Mercedes, Wehrlein moved to Formula E for the 2018–19 season with Mahindra, remaining with the team until the 2020 Marrakesh ePrix prior to his mid-season departure. He joined Porsche in 2020, taking his maiden win at the 2022 Mexico City ePrix before achieving several further victories throughout his 2022–23 campaign. In 2024, Wehrlein won his first World Championship after winning three ePrix amidst a close title battle with Mitch Evans.
