Ryan Joseph Ramos August 3, 2013

P7 on the grid–that’s the best that the Mercedes-Benz team could manage during the first DTM qualifying session in Russia. However abruptly the session ended, the Mercedes-Benz cars just couldn’t quite push the pace because of a number of reasons, although the constructor did manage to place four drivers in the top 10. The session was halted after Q3 because there was a flying ban over Moscow airspace because of Russian president Vladimir Putin’s flight. This meant that the rescue helicopter for the DTM event couldn’t take off, and thus, Q4 could not commence and the classification had to be made based on the order after Q3. “The car didn’t… Continue Reading »

[F1] Mercedes-Benz DTM Driver Juncadella Tests for Williams

Ryan Joseph Ramos July 17, 2013

The Mercedes AMG Petronas F1 team may be banned from the Formula 1 Young Driver Test at Silverstone, but at least Mercedes-Benz DTM driver and junior team member Daniel Juncadella is getting some action. The 22-year-old Spanish driver managed to complete 55 laps during the first day, with a lap time that’s good for fifth-best among all participants.

Juncadella was also tasked to take over Pastor Maldonado’s afternoon run for the second day. The extension is obviously a welcome opportunity for the young motorsport prospect, and the former Formula… Continue Reading »

Ryan Joseph Ramos July 14, 2013

In turn, Robert Wickens took home his first DTM race win and two other Junior Team drivers joined him on the podium. Completing the triple victory are Christian Vietoris, at second, and Daniel Juncadella, at third. Audi, however, will be appealing the stewards’ decision, so right now, this is a provisional result. If the standings stick, this would be a perfect showing for the Mercedes-Benz DTM team, which is celebrating its 25th anniversary… Continue Reading »
