Mercedes F1 reserve Wehrlein is youngest DTM champion

The 20-year-old clinched the title by finishing eighth at Hockenheim, a day before his birthday and with a race to spare.





Wehrlein has set his sights on moving up to Formula One and there has been talk of a possible debut next season with the tail-end Manor Marussia team, who are switching to Mercedes engines.

He has tested for Mercedes this year as well as Mercedes-powered Force India.
