The reason I have seen quoted is that Martini deal required a driver over the age of 25. I'm sure a solution could be found if needed though.
I made a comment on one of the Sky threads that I didn't think he (Wehrlein) had lived up to expectations though, and in backing myself up, I looked at his race results, and although he has out-scored Ericsson, when you look at all the races they have both finished, Ericsson has actually finished ahead of Pascal more times than not.
He showed great promise coming through the ranks, and I know he has a bit of a rough deal at Sauber, but I can't think of any examples where he has really made a mark on a race or lived up to his hype/potential since joining F1.
