Just like you, I’m also so looking forward to the first race. For many people this period is just great, Christmas, New Years and holidays, but for us motorsport infected people it is maybe the worst period in the year. (more…)
We are making preparations for the season 2009,
and our plan is to drive the Formula 3 Euroseries.
First tests of the autumn were driven in October at Hockenheim, Germany
and I got a lot of touch to the car at rainy and cold Hockenheimring.
The tests were driven with the German Mücke Sport team.
The team was very satisfied to the test day. (more…)
I love motor racing and being in Formula 1. However, I will be really glad when this season is over so I can prepare and look ahead to 2009. (more…)
Dear fans, shortly before Christmas, I would like to take the opportunity to review this past season, my first season in DTM. During this busy season, moments of peace were rare. That’s why it is nice to take a look back and review this past DTM year now. And what should I say: it was simply a great experience! (more…)
My first DTM season is over. My debut year ended with a fantastic team performance in Hockenheim. Straight from the first practice I felt comfortable in the car. (more…)
I’ve always hated the off season from racing! I find myself twiddling my thumbs not knowing what to do, more so this year as the car is still damaged.
However I still have my kart and decided it would be a laugh to go to PFI Kart Track on a practice day.
It was very cold but the racing atmosphere was still there and it gave me such a buzz! (more…)
As you can read in the following official press release, I wont be racing in NZL and Indonesia.
Off course I’m also disappointed that I can’t be there and race with these fantastic cars in a far away country I have never been in. I really would have loved to be there and represent my country, push real hard and enjoy driving the Ferrari! But it’s ok, I understand the situation, I stay very motivated and as long as I’m part of it for a longer term from the point we start, I am fine with it! Now, my next plans are to go back to Japan at the end of the month for the upcoming Super GT tests in Fuji. (more…)
All prepaired for race!
After a long trip down and a short nights sleep we went to the track and unloaded the container and went to the scrutineering to have everything prepaired in time. Everything was OK so we where the first team to get everything ready and the last sticker on the car. Yesterday we had some time to look at the city of dubai, and it must be the largest construktion place on earth! (more…)
Right now I’m in Seefeld for my physical preparation, it’s a real nice town located in Austria, its actually on a plateau at 1200 m above see level, means you are almost always above the clouds. As you can see again today I was in a true winter paradise, Seefeld has bean elected as the world’s best cross country skiing area. (more…)
It was a fantastic day, amazing scenery, bright sunshine! Great to fill yourself up with plenty of energy! When you experience nature like that, you realise that in these places the world is still fine I guess… Walking up to the Potsdamer chalet at 2020m ( www.potsdamer.at ) took just under 2 hours and down with the sledge for 30 min, great fun! bit cold -14 at the top… But it was no problem with good clothes and enough movement.
