Ralf to try tintops

Ralf Schumacher was left behind by Formula 1 this year and so has decided to continue his competition career with Mercedes-Benz in the DTM. The 32-year-old has had two tests with Mercedes in recent weeks and says that he is enjoying the experience. The drive has yet to be officially confirmed but reports that a deal is done are widespread in Germany.

Schumacher won six Grand Prix in his 11 years in F1 but in recent years with Toyota has been less than convincing. It will be interesting to see how he does.
