There was on Dutch television. He's one of the talents for the next generation. Wouldn't wonder if he and Max are gonna rule the next decade.

He wouldn't of have gotten to points without Sergio Perez's last lap retirement. That's why. There were no talent included on that one, it was pure luck. Though, he did deserve that.

Manor (Marussia) was a much weaker car in 2014 compared to Manor in 2016. I believe that was the thing why Bianchi's points finish was a bigger thing. Manor has a decent car this year and so finishing 10th wasn't THAT spectacular . I do agree that Wehrlein (&Manor) didn't get the mentions they deserved. Should have been easily driver of the day following Jenson Button and Verstappen should have been after that the earliest.

You guys know he is a dtm champion right?
he had a bit of luck with perez, but he had a great weekend! He is better than most people think, if he had a better car he would allready been a sensation.
i wouldnt be suprised if in a few year the f1 championship will go between verstappen,sainz,wherhlein. What do you guys think about that?

You could say that about Max Verstappen's win in Spain, but he still got 25 points didn't he ? Its a point none the less !

He was lapped and stone dead last at one point, and while the safety car did help him out, calling his achievement 'lucky' is simply ignorant. Even more so after a very impressive qualifying from Wehrlein.

Sainz lacks the killer instinct Verstappen has. He will never be champion material like Vettel or Hamilton. I see a lot of Senna in Verstappen allthough it is hard to compare the Senna era with the cars they drive today. So much more depended on driver skills in those days. That's one of the things I don't like in todays racing. Its like having a manager in an F1 car, managing fuel consumption and tires. The latter being not so worse and adding to the excitement, fuel consumption however is totally bull. We're racing aren't we...

Wehrlein didn't get the attention because of the two Mercedes crashing again and Button finishing 6th. Obviously it took a bit of luck because Perez had to crash, but people forget Wehrlein was a lap down under the safety car and carved his way through the field and was just as quick, if not faster than Bottas at the end of the race. I'd say that drive is close to what Bianchi did, but the Manor now is a much more competitive car than what Jules was driving

I like Wehrlein's approach to being a rookie. He's not as cocky as Max, just a quite observer getting acquainted with the physics of an F1 car over his former DTM carriages. This means his is more of a cerebral approach getting an understanding too of the politics of F1, something most rookies overlook.  I like this fella, and I think that over time as he gets his F1 groove we'll see him explode on the scene with some spectacular driving. This is a very intelligent driver compared to Max, who is all brawn and guts and not taking into consideration that while this is Formula One, it can be very dangerous if not careful.

I think he showed a lot of talent keeping this car in check and not getting into accidents. How may times have Max already crashed out???!!!

manor isn't the team it was a year or two ago. Meaning they are expected to do alittle better and doing better is just doing their job instead of doing something special. Same with McLaren this year verses last year. last year finishing in the points would have been a big deal. This year if they don't finish in the points, then they have done something wrong

He was lucky, as like said, he was driving 11th at the point Perez lost his brakes and drove out, you can't deny that. If that wouldn't of happened, (thanks new and stupid radio rules) he wouldn't of gotten 10th in the end. Pure luck in that part of the race. Now when talking about how he drove the whole weekend, that's skill.

Getting to place 11 on the grid was not luck but talented and clever driving.
The point wasn't about qualifying, the point was about the POINTS finish, like you already knew.

He hasn't exactly blown his team mate away this season either which people were expecting maybe that's a reason for the lack of hype. Most people consider Haryanto a pay driver and as I say Wehrlein hasn't exactly blown him away. Wehrlein Had a great weekend but did only get the point because  Perez and you could say Hulkenberg had problems in the race still a great weekend for Manor and Wehrlein with or without points.

he went from a lap down and dead last to 10th in half a grand prix in one of the slowest cars on the grid, thats not luck. obviously Perez retiring on the last lap was fortunate, but he still clawed his way to be in a position to take advantage. that car has no business fighting a Williams and he was pretty much pushing Bottas around the circuit for the last few laps.

Getting Manor to points takes skill. Was Verstappens win at Spain also luck?  Well Mercs crashed out but he still had to drive it home, beating two Ferraris, former world champions. Calling it luck is stupid. Its part of every sport.

It was luck that they crashed and he capitalised on it. What werhlein done was brilliant and all im wondering is why it was played down. jules drive in monaco where he should have served 3 penaltys for wreckless driving was hyped to make him a legend. i dont think personally that jules was a great driver maybe he could have survived in the sport got into ferrari and won championships. from the races he done he was faster than max chilton but that wouldnt be hard even in the same bucket. i think manors car still aint by any means up there in regards pace but to get to q2 barely missing out on q3 and to put the car in the points needs to be talked about. pascal will be a phenomonal racing driver when given the right car and i believe that should be soon to replace nico in merc.

That's a serious option I guess, Pascal replacing Nico. Toto and Lauda are getting fed up with fight between the two of them. But who can blame them? They are both contracters, in the same team but both with the goal to win the Championship. They have to battle each other, teamorders or no team orders. I do hope Mercedes doesn't go that way. That would ruine this Championship. I guess Nico will move to Ferrari or Hamilton will take a sabbatical if he doesn't win this year.

If this carries on happening with Hamilton and Rosberg throughout the season I think Jenson Button becomes a viable option for Mercedes. Jenson is out of contract with Mclaren they could give him a 1 year deal which would give pascal wehrlein another year at manor to gain more experience. Also Jenson was very competitive in race trim against Lewis could know where near match him in qualifying but it's all about Sunday's and in 3 years as team mates I can only remember Lewis and Jenson coming together once in Canada. I think it's a no brainier if Lewis and Nico can't get along in the same team.

There's no way Mercedes would sign Button... It's always difficult if drivers change year after year because it affects development of the new car. I'm quite sure Hamilton and Rosberg both will be in Mercedes next year but if not, it's most likely Wehrlein or possibly Bottas.
