He celebrated this achievement by lifting the trophy alongside his daughter. Reflecting on the race, Wehrlein shared on Instagram: "What a race! After three or four laps I thought it was over. But I kept pushing to stay as close as possible to the top three in case something happened and I could take advantage. And that's exactly what happened in the final chicane."
He continued: "Normally, I'm not someone who gets super excited about P3. But with the circumstances we had today, I'm more than happy. Thanks to everyone in the @porsche.motorsport team and our partners for another strong weekend. And well done to @circuito_jarama for an amazing first e-prix!"
