The top 10 DTM drivers of 2009
Timo Scheider sealed his second straight championship, Gary Paffett won four races on his return to a front-line Mercedes and Jamie Green became only the second man ever to win in a year-old car. Glenn Freeman ranks the top 10 drivers of 2009
1. Gary Paffett
HWA-Mercedes
Mercedes C-class
DTM starts: 10
Poles: 0
Wins: 4
Championship position: 2nd
The stats say it all really. Four wins from 10, when no-one else could manage more than two. The fact that two of those wins came when the 2009-spec Mercedes were all running 10kg heavier than the Audis is another remarkable achievement, as the 2005 champion showed this year that he's still got it on his return to a top car.
