I just want to have fun again, German underlines.

In describing his new signing as a perfect fit for both the championship and Mercedes' title ambitions, Haug is clearly confident Schumacher has all the necessary attributes to shine and become a firm favourite amongst the DTM's fervent supporters.

“Needless to describe Ralf's driving skills,” the 55-year-old affirmed. “Until today he is the most successful German Formula 1 driver behind his brother Michael, and this is not because these successes were a present.

“With the attitude Ralf showed during the tests and in our conversations, I am convinced the DTM will experience a new driver who will start with skills and concentration and who has everything to inspire both the crowd and his team.

“Ralf will soon have a new image, and I think that in his first year in the DTM this will not be based on his results but on his commitment to fight sportsmanlike, hard and fair with extremely tough competition, and thus to learn to improve to the top step-by-step.”
