Wehrlein is a 'very special driver'

Toto Wolff was full of praise for Manor's Pascal Wehrlein after the Austrian Grand Prix where he finished the race in 10th place.

Pascal impressed in Saturday's qualifying session by placing his car 12th on the grid, his best qualifying result of his short Formula One career. 

"For the first time in F1 he has really shown that he is a very special driver," Mercedes' Wolff said, according to the German news agency SID.

Wehrlein is part of the Mercedes programme and is tipped to be the driver to replace either Lewis Hamilton or Nico Rosberg when a seat becomes available in the team.
