Wehrlein was born in Sigmaringen to a German father and Mauritian mother. His father Richard, a former boxer, owns a CNC machining company in Ostrach.{{Cite web|url=http://www.motorsport-magazin.com/adac-formel-masters/news-99300-musterschueler-wehrlein-will-immer-erster-sein/|title=Musterschüler Wehrlein will immer Erster sein|website=Motorsport-Magazin.com|date=19 May 2010 |language=de|access-date=27 April 2017}}{{Cite web|url=http://www.dangel-wehrlein.de/impressum.html|title=Dangel & Wehrlein GbR Metallverarbeitung|last=www.vogler-qs.de|first=Hubert Vogler Beratungen|website=www.dangel-wehrlein.de|access-date=27 April 2017}}

Wehrlein began karting in 2003 and raced only in his native Germany in his early career. He worked his way up from the junior ranks to progress through to the KF2 category by 2009, when he finished on fifth position in ADAC Kart Masters.{{cite web|url=http://www.pascal-wehrlein.de/?page_id=391|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140531232445/http://www.pascal-wehrlein.de/?page_id=391|url-status=dead|archive-date=31 May 2014|title=Results|publisher=pascal-wehrlein.de|access-date=9 April 2012}}{{cite web|url=http://www.driverdb.com/standings/4938-2009/cars/|title=ADAC Kart Masters – KF2 2009|publisher=Driver Database|access-date=9 April 2012}}

2010 saw his debut in the ADAC Formel Masters championship with ADAC Berlin-Brandenburg e.V. (also known as Mücke Motorsport).

Wehrlein made his Deutsche Tourenwagen Masters (DTM) debut with the Mercedes-Benz team Mücke Motorsport in 2013, becoming the youngest driver in DTM history at the age of 18.{{Cite web |date=16 March 2013 |title=Förderpilot Wehrlein steigt in die DTM auf: Jüngster Fahrer der DTM-Geschichte {{!}} ADAC Stiftung Sport |url=https://adac-motorsport.de/adac-stiftung-sport/news/2013/forderpilot-wehrlein-steigt-in-die-dtm-auf-jungster-fahrer-der-dtm-geschichte/ |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230531093223/https://www.adac-motorsport.de/adac-stiftung-sport/news/2013/forderpilot-wehrlein-steigt-in-die-dtm-auf-jungster-fahrer-der-dtm-geschichte/ |archive-date=31 May 2023 |access-date=2023-05-14 |website=adac-motorsport.de |language=de}} In a career spanning three seasons Wehrlein managed to be one of the leading drivers in the field despite his youthful age.

He qualified eighth for his debut race at the season opener in Hockenheim and led the race for 16 laps after an early safety car period, but dropped back to the midfield after his mandatory pit stop, finishing his first DTM race just outside the points in 11th.{{Cite web |last=East |first=George |date=5 May 2013 |title=Augusto Farfus wins Hockenheim sizzler – TouringCarTimes |url=https://www.touringcartimes.com/2013/05/05/augusto-farfus-wins-hockenheim-sizzler/ |access-date=2023-05-17 |website=www.touringcartimes.com}} He scored his first points with two 10th place finishes at the second and third round in Brands Hatch and Spielberg respectively. Wehrlein qualified a season best fifth at Norisring but had to retire from the race with rear axle problems after making contact with the wall.{{Cite web |date=2013-07-14 |title=Triple victory for Mercedes-Benz at Norisring after stewards' decision |url=https://www.motorsport.com/dtm/news/triple-victory-for-mercedes-benz-at-norisring-after-stewards-decision/437561/ |access-date=2023-05-17 |website=www.motorsport.com |language=en}} Round seven at Nürburgring saw him achieve his first fastest lap and another 10th place finish in a race heavily affected by a sudden downpour of rain on the formation lap.{{Cite web |date=2013-08-19 |title=DTM: Analyse Nürburgring 2013 – Racingblog |url=https://www.racingblog.de/2013/08/19/dtm-analyse-nuerburgring-2013/ |access-date=2023-05-17 |language=de-DE}} Wehrlein finished his rookie season 22nd in the championship.

In 2014, he switched teams to HWA where he became the youngest driver in the series history to claim pole position and win a race on route to 8th in the championship with 46 points collected. Besides his stand out victory at Lausitz, Wehrlein's second best result of the season was a fifth-place finish at Norisring.

In 2015, DTM returned to running two races per race weekend, resulting in 18 rounds in the 2015 championship. Due to the inconsistency of most teams and drivers, Wehrlein won the title easily, having scored in all rounds except for three. He achieved 5 podiums, one fastest lap and two wins. He is the first driver to win the championship having not claimed a pole position throughout his championship season while also being the youngest ever DTM champion.

On 7 February 2018, it was announced that Wehrlein would return to DTM with Mercedes-AMG's HWA Team after Mercedes were unable to find him a seat in Formula One.{{Cite web |date=7 February 2018 |title=The youngest-ever DTM champion is returning to the fray: Pascal Wehrlein is back in the DTM |url=https://media.mercedes-benz.com/ |access-date=2023-05-17 |website=Mercedes-Benz Media |language=en}}{{cite news |last1=Khorounzhiy |first1=Valentin |date=7 February 2018 |title=Wehrlein to make DTM return in 2018 |work=Motorsport.com |publisher=Motorsport Network |url=https://www.motorsport.com/dtm/news/wehrlein-return-mercedes-dtm-f1-1002769/ |access-date=7 February 2018}} During the 2018 DTM season, Wehrlein achieved one podium and finished the championship in 8th.

Wehrlein gained points against championship leader Cassidy with two top ten finishes at Portland, going into the final round at London with a 12-point deficit to the Kiwi.{{Cite web |date=2024-07-18 |title=PREVIEW: Everything you need to know about the 2024 Hankook London E-Prix |url=https://www.fiaformulae.com/en/news/www.fiaformulae.com/en/news/503775 |access-date=2024-07-22 |website=The Official Home of Formula E |language=en}} During a frantic Saturday race Wehrlein battled past polesitter Evans to win the race, thus gaining the championship lead.{{Cite web |date=2024-07-20 |title=Wehrlein holds title advantage after win in London E-Prix 1 thriller |url=https://racer.com/2024/07/20/wehrlein-holds-title-advantage-after-win-in-london-e-prix-1-thriller/ |access-date=2024-07-22 |website=RACER |language=en-US}} The following day, Wehrlein drove a conservative race, keeping himself between the two Jaguars of Evans and Cassidy for the majority of the contest. When Cassidy retired following a puncture and Evans missed his second attack mode activation, Wehrlein, who by that stage had been passed by Rowland for the race lead, was able to finish second, therefore clinching the title by being six points ahead of Evans.{{Cite web |date=2024-07-21 |title=Wehrlein marches to Formula E title as Jaguar's charge falters |url=https://racer.com/2024/07/21/wehrlein-marches-to-formula-e-title-as-jaguars-charge-falters/ |access-date=2024-07-22 |website=RACER |language=en-US}}{{Cite web |date=2024-07-21 |title=Formula E title decided by missed attack mode |url=https://www.the-race.com/formula-e/pascal-wehrlein-formula-e-champion-porsche/ |access-date=2024-07-22 |website=The Race |language=en}}
