🗣️'I'm sorry for him, too. It's like that, I can't change it.' Several DTM drivers were critical of David Schumacher’s driving after he was involved in incidents in both legs of last weekend’s Norisring double-header ⬇️

In the opening race at the popular German street venue, Winward Mercedes driver Schumacher was battling with Luca Engstler for 19th position when he made contact with the Audi driver at the apex of Turn 1, sending the 23-year immediately into retirement.

In a battle for 16th spot, Schumacher drove into the back of Niederhauser under braking for Turn 1, pitching the Swiss into a spin and dealing his Audi serious damage. “The race was actually over after that. Of course, emotions always boil up in the car. That's clear. It's not nice." “I almost had to stop in the middle of the track, otherwise maybe we could have been very close to Sheldon on his pit exit. Speaking to ran.de, he added: “I was completely blocked. It was like when someone takes your right of way in normal traffic - from a blind spot.

“I think I hit a bump somewhere, the car is then like on black ice on the front axle. Then the decision was inside or outside. I decided to go on the outside, but there wasn't enough room and I still hit him on the left-rear.
