The DTM cars are highly sophisticated machines that F1 teams clearly rate as Gary Paffett was a DTM champ and Mclaren test driver, whilst Ralf Schumacher, Timo Glock and Mika Hakkinen hardly slotted in and won races because it's a tough series.
In addition, Mercedes are backing PW for a reason - they've seen his simulator data, and his 300km+ completed in a 2013 Mercedes, and his Force India test runs. He's shown them enough for them to back him, and likely groom him to replace Lewis or Nico in 1/2 years.
Rupiah Ryo meanwhile is there for one reason.
Rio has been there since the Virgin era, you better ask John Booth how much he likes him since he was 17..... for a young guy coming from nowhere, with no cash at that time, how come a F1 team give him a chance to test a car for the 3rd times? To rob his Rupiahs? or just a good luck? ... Ohh, perhaps some goverment agents give a bribe to the team? who knows
If Rossi has the same amount of dollar, I am sure Manor will take Rio
If Manor using a Ferrari engine, I dont think they even make a contact with Pascal, nor if Pascal driving Audi
I am not guessing whether you are a Rio hater or PW supporter, but you may call me a PW-fans hater
Honestly, I will congratulate if Pascal scored points more than Rio this year.
And for sure, I do believe Rio wont win the tittle this year
*edit: there were 3 teams contacted him in 2015, but two teams offer only a reserve driver option
Id happily put money on PW finishing higher in the WDC than RH in 2016.
Haryanto has only had 1 genuine podium in 4 years in GP2. and what I mean is, in races where he started from where he qualified. He's only won a race in that class when it's in a race of reverse grid pole. I just think Pascal is on another level. Pascal even looks red hot when he takes part in the race of champions or Mercedes Stars events.
