It is quite a strong possibility, given that Merc will have two extra seats, but will they want their racing entry to be seen as a step-down from F1?
The DTM is unforgiving of past champions - look at Tomczyk and Scheider - and moving into the series from F1 does not always work out well.
From a marketing point-of-view it will get more promotion for the series (look at Timo Glock's massive popularity this season) but having two British drivers for the marque might be seen as excessive, particularly given the trimming of the British round for 2014.
