... in a DTM car http://www.spiegel.de/sport/sonst/0,1518,528465,00.html Six pilots, among them Ralf Schumacher and Christian Klien, will be testing the new DTM Mercedes in Estoril on Tuesday. Ralf denies that this will be some kind of competition for an actual place in a team. Norbert Haug: "There is no decision from Mercedes to hire Schumacher". They don't seem to have that great opinion of him when he first needs to compete against the back of the pack to get his seat...
I would love to see Ralf and Klien in the DTM. Fisichella and Barrichello could join them in a couple seasons too.
Michael seems to think otherwise: http://www.pitpass.com/fes_php/pitpass_news_item.php?fes_art_id=33658 Or is he just making excuses for Ralf before he makes a fool of himself in another race series?
Audi's not interested in Ralf's service, saying that they prefer young blood. i really think if Merc takes Ralf into DTM, he's really done in F1..for good.
After his lacklustre performance at Toyota and his distinct lack of personality - if I were him I'd quit full stop. When there are talented racers like Gary Paffett and Paul di Resta available to Mercedes - why oh why would they even contemplate evaluating RS and fellow F1 refugee Klien?
