Pascal Wehrlein made up eight places and held off a late assault from Jake Dennis to win the DiriyahEPrix opener 🏆 Full report and results ⬇️
, Wehrlein made up another place on the eighth lap when Rene Rast went too wide into the Turn 18 chicane.
Wehrlein looked to have taken it on the 25th tour as he dived past Bird at the Turn 18 chicane, but he overcooked it under braking and went into the run-off to hand Bird a reprieve. With more energy than Bird, Wehrlein was able to make hay and put a gap on the Jaguar driver, which left the latter under attack from the charging Dennis after the Andretti driver had cleared the McLarens and Envisions.
Wehrlein had saved enough to hold firm on the final lap, however, and despite Dennis considering a move into the final corner, the win was Wehrlein's.
