Albers wins again

Christijan Albers may not have had his chance in Formula 1 this year but the Dutchman has been winning ever since he landed a top drive with the AMG Mercedes team in the German Touring Car series.

Christijan Albers may not have had his chance in Formula 1 this year but the Dutchman has been winning ever since he landed a top drive with the AMG Mercedes team in the German Touring Car series. Albers scored his third win at the Norisring in front of 128,000 spectators at the weekend and so moved into the lead of the series, ahead of Bernd Schneider in the Vodafone-sponsored AMG Mercedes. Albers is hoping to be given a test drive with McLaren later this year and is aiming to become the team's test driver in the future if Alexander Wurz moves elsewhere. Wurz may well be on Jaguar Racing's shopping list to replace Antonio Pizzonia at the end of the year.
