Bernd Schneider: The Ultimate Benchmark
Bernd Schneider may be about to start his 14th season in the DTM, but the Mercedes-Benz driver still presents a formidable challenge to his rivals. And the German told Steven English that he'll still be around for a while yet
Remarkably little stays constant in the DTM. Alfa Romeo, BMW and Opel have all come and gone. Superstar drivers Mika Hakkinen, Jean Alesi and Heinz-Harald Frentzen gave their illustrious careers an all-too-quick fillip here. Even the championship itself managed to morph into the ITC, before imploding when costs got too high and returning again in 2000.
Nonetheless, there are two things in the DTM of today that were there 15 years ago: Mercedes and Bernd Schneider.
