David Coulthard warns the DTM series that if they want to progress and be even more successful, they will have to include the DTM series in the system of obtaining a super license for Formula One. Namely, many racers came from F1 to DTM in the past, but among other things, many of them also won for a prize, or advanced from DTM to F1 (for some testing).

DTM Series champion Marco Wittmann earned a Formula One race car test after winning the said championship this year. Otherwise, this is an award from BMW, with which Wittmann signed a new multi-year contract. BMW boss Jens Marquardt said that Marco had a great season in which BMW took it to a new peak: “He has done a lot for us this season, and now is the time for us to reward him as well. We extended his contract, which is a logical step, as he has been working hard for us for three years.
