Having a low opinion of the series does not preclude me from discussing it. I have not gone off topic.
I don't mind Ralf racing in DTM. He fits. Mercedes are, however, wasting their junior driver's time with it. Renault, Toyota and Red Bull, for instance, have placed placed their drivers in GP2 or World Series by Renault and brought up Buemi, Kovalainen, Vettel and Nakajima to F1 recently. Mercedes have let their talents waste away their careers here - Paffett, di Resta, Green, all Euro/German F3 champions who should have done GP2. Audi snatched two of Porsche's prototype drivers for what? To use for blocking against Schneider? I have no issue with people like Schneider or Ekström in the series, but single seater talents should stay clear unless they're actively looking for F1 Career Death. Buurman, for instance, was on his way to a Mercedes drive several times but in the end stuck it out, and thank god he did so.
