Stuttgart, Mar 23, 2010
- Ralf Schumacher (34) will start with the AMG Mercedes C-Class again in the 2010 DTM. The season’s debut race will be at Hockenheim on 25th April 2010.
Ralf Schumacher had concluded his Formula 1 career after 11 years and 180 grands prix at the end of the 2007 season. He won six grands prix and – with BMW Williams – finished both the 2001 and 2002 Drivers‘ World Championships in fourth place.
Ralf Schumacher:
“It’s great fun to race in the DTM; one of the most important reasons for this is the perfect cooperation with Mercedes-Benz and the HWA team. Therefore, I look forward to a third year in this fantastic championship.”
“At Mercedes-Benz and my team, I have the opportunity to practise motor racing at the best professional level.”
“In 2010, the fans will experience a so far unique combination – my brother Michael in Formula 1 and me in the DTM, and both we will race for Mercedes-Benz – this will be an exciting motor sport season.”
Norbert Haug, Vice President Mercedes-Benz Motorsport:
“We all look very much forward to Ralf being a member of our DTM driver line-up again in 2010 and that he will enter his third season together with us.”
“Soon, Ralf became one of the favourites of the spectators of the series and I am sure that in 2010, after the necessary ‘learning time‘ everybody needs in the DTM, he will further improve in sporting terms.“
