DTM's three-way title showdown
A trio of Mercedes drivers head into this weekend's DTM finale in Shanghai with a chance of claiming the title. Former champion Gary Paffett is the outsider, Bruno Spengler and Paul di Resta are chasing their first. Glenn Freeman assesses their chances
This weekend the DTM will host its season finale away from the familiar surroundings of Hockenheim for the first time in its 'new' era that dates back to 2000.
It's also the first time a title showdown will be fought out exclusively between three team-mates, and it's highly likely that the series will be crowning a new champion on Sunday.
