The inside story of Dovizioso's DTM debut

By:

MotoGP star Andrea Dovizioso proved solid in his DTM debut at Misano. Tom Errington delves into how Dovizioso adjusted from two wheels to four, and assesses his performance.

In the hours leading up to the DTM's final race at Misano, two-time series champion Mattias Ekstrom gave a perfect insight into the sort of teacher he was for MotoGP star Andrea Dovizioso during his guest drive weekend.

"I told him before [the weekend], if you want to let everybody go it makes no sense to go racing. There are the rules that I expect him to follow - which he has done [on Saturday]. If someone breaks the rules, we take no crap from no one - if someone behaves badly, you give it back. It's 'OK if you do it, I'll do the same'."
