I think that one was actually not his fault this time. But I agree with him beein a bad racer in general and causing a ton of incidents.Wow Schumacher is useless. Wiping out 4 engineers in the pit lane!
Maybe he would have done a (Keke) Rosberg on herIt would have been interesting what he would have done, had Rahel Frey passed him at Nürburgring, when she followed him throughout the entire race whilst beeing faster.
Some nice retaliation move I would guess
BMW set the first fastest time during the DTM weekend at the Motorsport Arena Oschersleben. In bright sunshine, Dirk Werner set the fastest lap time of 1:22.132 minutes with his BMW M3 DTM. He was 0.265 seconds faster than points’ leader Gary Paffett (Mercedes-Benz). Werner’s fellow BMW drivers Augusto Farfus and Andy Priaulx ended up third and fourth. Timo Scheider (Audi) drove the fastest Audi A5 DTM in fifth place.
The DTM fans can look forward to a hot racing weekend: in first free practice already, the first eleven drivers were faster than Timo Scheider’s official lap record, set in 2010. Accordingly, it seems quite certain that the record will be beaten in this year’s race. With 43 laps, Priaulx completed the highest number of laps in free practice. For the Brit, this equalled a distance of 158.928 kilometres. Sunday’s eighth DTM season round will cover 51 laps.
Team MTEK is based in Garching near the BMW Motorsport hearquarters in Munich with Dutchman Ernest Knoors as Team Principal.
"I'm really looking forward to my new task: to guide BMW Team MTEK to DTM success," said Knoors, who most recently has been working with Ferrari as Head of customer powertrain support in Formula One.
"Over the course of my career I have experienced most forms of motor racing, and I know the high level of operation in the DTM. BMW Motorsport is currently contesting a fantastic debut season. We are also set to have our share in giving the BMW fans reason to celebrate regularly in 2013. It's obvious there will be a lot for us to learn as a new team. I'm convinced we will have a steep learning curve. The current 2012 season has given impressive proof of the general competitiveness of the BMW M3 DTM."
BMW has as of yet not revealed the identity of the two drivers set for Team MTEK in the DTM next year.
