Having been promoted as DTM driver for Mercedes after Ralf Schumacher's surprise retirement, 18-year-old Pascal Wherlein will become this season the youngest driver in the history of the championship.
Born in 1994, Wherlein is one of the most talented German drivers. He made his racing debuts in karting, before moving to auto racing in 2010 in the ADAC Formel Masters series. He claimed the title in 2011, with 7 wins and 7 pole positions, before he graduated to the Formula 3 Euroseries in 2012, finishing second for his rookie season.
For 2013, Pascal Wherlein planned to race the new Formula 3 European Championship, but his announcement to become a DTM driver changed his plans. However, he will still compete in the opening round of the European F3 this weekend in Monza.
Pascal Wherlein raced for Mücke Motorsport in the 2012 F3 Euroseries, and will make his DTM debuts with that same team.
