Former DTM champion Thomas Preining, who has already won three times at the Norisring, lost his cool after finishing ninth in Saturday's DTM race in Nuremberg. It is "relatively obvious that this has nothing to do with sport," the Porsche factory driver fumed about the Balance of Performance (BoP). "We are catastrophically shit in terms of pace. It's zero fun. The countdown to my vacation is on."
That is now the focus, because after Sunday's race, his flight leaves at 7 p.m. "I'm looking forward to that, because there is absolutely nothing positive here," the 27-year-old said, unable to hide his frustration. The current situation is jeopardizing his future in the DTM. "I'm really close to saying: This makes no sense anymore, I'm quitting," he said, openly discussing a potential retirement.
