Pascal Wehrlein's daughter joins him on podium at Berlin E-Prix: 'I promised you a trophy'
It was a special day for German driver Pascal Wehrlein at his home race, the Berlin E-Prix, on Saturday. Despite facing a three-place grid penalty, the TAG Heuer Porsche driver delivered a stellar performance to reach the podium.
Wehrlein, driving car No. 94, finished second in Round 13 at the Tempelhof Airport Circuit and celebrated the moment with his daughter on stage.
Pascal Wehrlein clinches podium in Berlin Round 13
Pascal Wehrlein secured his fifth podium of the season at the Berlin E-Prix on Saturday, overcoming a grid penalty received for colliding with teammate Antonio Felix Da Costa during FP1 on Friday. He also earned extra points for setting the fastest lap in the race.
After the event, Wehrlein shared several photos on Instagram, including a heartwarming one of him holding his daughter.
He captioned it: 'I promised you a trophy. P2 at our first home race of the season. Grateful to have family and friends here to share the moment. Let's go again tomorrow.'

The achievement was even sweeter as it helped Wehrlein close the gap with championship leader Oliver Rowland to just 50 points. Rowland failed to finish Saturday's race and retired early. However, on Sunday, fortunes reversed — Wehrlein couldn't convert his pole position into a podium, while Rowland finished fourth, securing enough points to clinch this year's Formula E World Championship.
Sharing his thoughts after the Round 13 race, Wehrlein said, 'It was an important day and a good race, starting from P9. Finishing second is a good result, but we had a small taste of the victory. I think pace-wise, we were the quickest, so I tried really hard and it was close in the end. I think we can be happy with today, good points for the team, good points for the championship. Every race is all-in and we try to maximise every one.
'
His second-place finish also gave a crucial boost to TAG Heuer Porsche in the Teams' and Manufacturers' Championship.
Pascal Wehrlein fights to secure his position in Formula E Driver Standings
Following Sunday's race, where Pascal Wehrlein failed to score and Oliver Rowland picked up 12 points, Wehrlein remains second in the Formula E Drivers' Standings with 125 points. While he can no longer catch Rowland, he will need a strong finish in the remaining rounds to protect his position. Taylor Barnard is close behind in third position with 112 points, and Antonio Felix Da Costa is in fourth with 103 points.

View this post on Instagram A post shared by Wimbledon (@wimbledon) This unique style of eating pasta has sparked a wave of comments from food lovers on social media.

This dish is nostalgic comfort food in Poland, especially in summer when strawberries are fresh and sweet. Curious to try this dish? Here is the recipe. How To Make Polish Strawberry Pasta With Yoghurt Ingredients You Need 150-200g pasta (traditionally small pasta like twarozkowy makaron, but penne, fusilli, or even spaghetti works) 250g fresh strawberries, hulled and chopped 200g plain or vanilla yoghurt (or use thick Greek yoghurt for creaminess) 1-2 tbsp sugar (adjust based on strawberry sweetness) Pinch of salt Steps To Make Strawberry Pasta Bring a pot of salted water to boil. Add the pasta and cook as per packet instructions until soft. While the pasta is cooking, wash, hull, and chop the strawberries into small pieces. Place the chopped strawberries in a bowl and sprinkle with sugar. Lightly mash them with a fork to release their juices. Drain the cooked pasta and let it cool slightly for 2-3 minutes so it is warm but not piping hot. In a large mixing bowl, combine the pasta with yoghurt. Mix gently. Add the mashed strawberries with their juices and stir to combine evenly. Taste and adjust sweetness by adding more sugar or honey if needed. Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy!
