<roflmao> <roflmao>

Think his career would be finished before it even starts if Ralf beats him.
Problem is M Schumacher has said he will never do DTM as he finds it difficult in a tin top car.

Wonder if his wife drives the MPV and he takes the bike <roflmao>

I think DTM could be a bad move for Senna. Few single-seater drivers have met with immediate success in touring cars (think of Nigel Mansell's disastrous foray into the BTCC, for example). If he doesn't perform well then his stock amongst F1 teams will inevitably drop, and it will be hard for him to find his way back into the top of single-seater racing from there.

Even the Mercedes link is unlikely to do him any good - Gary Paffett has been tipped for an F1 seat for years now and it's never gone anywhere, and Paul di Resta will be lining up for a McLaren drive before Senna or anyone else from the touring car world gets a look-in.

Mansell's foray into BTCC was not a disaster, he was super competitive & brought incredible excitement ..!

Gary Paffett is already a test driver with McLaren Mercedes F1.

Still only testing after all this time is hardly indicative of a great career move....and he won the title!

Unfortunately, you won't find a betting slip long enough to fit all the digits on. Obviously it will end his career if he doesn't.

DTM will be live on Setanta this year, with highlights on Dave using Setanta's commentary.
