Christian Vietoris y RENGER van der Zande

If we mentioned yesterday that Mercedes confirmed two "dinosaurs" to participate in the DTM in 2011, today the news is totally different. Mercedes-Benz has confirmed to Christian Vietoris and Renger van der Zande as pilots in the DTM. New blood to rejuvenate its pilots template a bit. Something they have already done in Audi with the arrival in recent times of Miguel Molina, Filipe Albuquerque or Edoardo Mortara.
Vietoris combined his programme in the DTM with the presence in GP2 with Racing Engineering while Van der Zande is a program after dispute last season the GP3 with CSR Mucke Motorsport (team involving Ralf Schumacher).
On the other hand, and following the departure of Paul di Resta to formula one, in the HWA team (the official Mercedes-Benz) was left a free niche. It is already occupied. After two great seasons with the model of 2008 (after being relegated in favour of Ralf Schumacher), in 2011, Jamie Green will once again count with a Mercedes-Benz C-Klasse specification 2009. The British deserved a black leg. Justice has been done.
In this way, we already know to the roster of pilots who will defend at Mercedes-Benz in DTM in 2011: Gary Paffett, Bruno Spengler, Ralf Schumacher, Jamie Green, Susie Stoddart, Maro Engel, David Coulthard alongside newcomers, Christian Vietoris and Renger van der Zande.

Klien said that the fact of not having released the new car that he is not at a disadvantage against other drivers, as Liuzzi or Mondini, which, logically, also has experience with the new car, as well as Christian. It therefore hoped to be able to run in 2011.
It is quite curious to see how a driver who is not yet in the team talk about him. It explains, for example, that seen in 2010 they worked, is very clear that in 2011 will know use their limited resources in the most efficient way to imagine.
Interestingly, Liuzzi and Klien already were "fighting" for a seat in formula one, during the season 2005, Red Bull. At that time, the team now world champion stayed with Klien. Nevertheless, they are very good friends, and very often talk about. Christian is sure that, whatever the decision, that will not change.
