Schumacher officially confirmed by Mercedes
Ralf Schumacher has officially been anounced by Mercedes as one of their drivers for the 2008 season. After a period of eleven year in Formula 1, the German driver turns to Touring Car racing. Schumacher will drive his first race in the Deutsche Tourenwagen Masters on April 13th, on the Hockenheimring. He will be driving a 2007 Mercedes C-Class, sponsored by Trilux. ![]() By Rob Veltman Monday, 18 February 2008 23:46 CET "Of course I know that neither the media nor the spectators consider me the greatest race driver of all times and this is not what I’m aiming for”, Schumacher said. “During my last three years in Formula 1, I didn’t have much success and it almost sounded strange to me when Norbert mentioned in our conversation, that short before this time I had managed to win two Formula 1 Grands Prix within only eight days.” “However, I am still the same Ralf as at those times, the same racer who has fun in motor sports and who wants to compete with the best”, Schumacher went on to say. “Now I am able to do so in the DTM which I know very well since the mid-nineties when I was a young up-coming driver racing in Formula Junior and Formula 3 which had been staged as a supporting programme of the DTM. Then I dreamed of racing in the main event sometime.” “I like the series, I like the environment, I like the enthusiastic and positive spectators. And I like Mercedes – with them I got my first chance to test a Formula 1 car in 1996 and who knows how my Formula 1 career had turned out if I had accepted the McLaren Mercedes offer to become their test driver for 1997.“ “But then I wanted to drive races, and that’s what I still want today, more than ten years later.” “I will learn in the DTM, I will work hard and I will put it behind me if people will criticize me if I should have problems during the first couple of races.” “It was great fun testing the DTM C-Class and I look very much forward to the new season, more than I did for a long time. Money and popularity like in Formula 1 don’t play the first role for me.” “Now I want sport, fun and excitement and that’s what the DTM features more than any other race series. It’s fine if people have patience with me being an apprentice in the beginning, but if not – I don’t mind. I know already most of my future competitors, but I don’t expect them to let me pass just because here comes Ralf who doesn’t know the DTM so well.” Norbert Haug, Sportchef of Mercedes, was very happy to sign Ralf Schumacher to his outfit. “It was decisive for our engagement of Ralf that he showed enthusiasm for the DTM and his willingness to commit himself to a learning period with the for him unknown race touring cars and with the enormous competitiveness of the entire field.” “Needless to describe Ralf’s driving skills, until today he is the most successful German Formula 1 driver behind his brother Michael and this is not because these successes were a present.” “It is clear that in the DTM Ralf has at first to get used to starting positions with two-digit numbers and that during his learning year he probably will start rather from the last third of the field than from the second third.” “Ralf is ready to go this way of learning and our technical team will support him entirely. With the attitude Ralf showed during the tests and in our conversations I am convinced that the DTM will experience a new driver who will start with skills and concentration and who has everything to inspire both the crowd and his team.” “Ralf will soon have a new image and I think that in his first year in the DTM this will not be based on his results but on his commitment to fight sportsmanlike, hard and fair with an extremely tough competition and thus to learn to improve to the top step by step.” “I admire Ralf for his commitment to compete which is what you experience only with a good and fully motivated sportsman. “ “Neither did Ralf not ask us for a Formula 1 bonus in his salary nor did he require a special status within the team – compliments for this attitude: This is the only correct and therefore best pre-condition for his new career.” |

Bueno, para no mezclar el DTM con el WTCC abro este tópic para poder tratar el campeonato ampliamente. Además, como es seguro que muchos de nosotros iremos a la carrera de Barcelon en Setiembre este tópic nos permitirá comentar nuestras impresiones.
