Ralf Schumacher: Just Like Starting Over
After a decade in Formula One, Ralf Schumacher is a rookie again. He spoke to Autosport's deputy news editor and DTM correspondent Glenn Freeman about his first DTM weekend at Hockenheim on Sunday
Ralf Schumacher made his DTM debut at Hockenheim last weekend. Despite the ongoing coverage and hype surrounding his move, he remained relaxed and frank about his conservative expectations.
He wanted to race an older car so he could adapt to the series without the burden of expectation that would have come with one of Mercedes' four new cars. While he didn't get the low-key debut he was hoping for thanks to the eager home press, he did make a solid start and conducted himself admirably during the weekend.
