Audi LMP1 drivers yeah. DTM drivers? Not so much.

and it's that reason why i can't stand the negative attitude towards the youngsters who ARE making it into the dtm fold. these guys are outrageously good at what they do. it's a thing of pride that they're more keen on dtm than they are on f1 nowadays.
"More keen on DTM", as if! More like sitting into a made nest. Most of these young formula drivers are just racing ten times a year, getting some German money yet they don't put any effort in marketing themselves to the audience or pushing the series more forward in terms of draw value. Hell, only few of them have even learned German and it's pretty important to speak German in order to deal with German media!
