Ralf Schumacher to run DTM
I was just looking at Speed.com and saw that Ralf is going to run in the DTM series in a year old Mercedes chassis. He will be paid 1 million dollars
 Am I the only one that thinks that Ralf stinks as a driver What does he bring to the table?

I dont get it either...it certainly aint his personality! This is one thing I notice about European racing that wouldnt fly around here - the drivers can treat the fans and media like crap and thier sponsors dont care.

Name recognition. He drives OK, but just being an ex-F1 driver might be enough to justify the salary...
