Thierry:

Hockenheim always feels like a good race weekend, it’s hard to explain. It might be the fact it’s often the final round, or that it’s close to my home town or maybe its just the simple layout that makes you push for that very last bit to make the difference with the others. My favorite part is the last sector as there is such a small line between getting it perfect and being half a second off, this makes it feel super nice once you get the flow right. Definitely looking forward to this race.

Redbull ring has always been a track I wanted to race, making my first appearance in 2021 with the Carrera Cup Benelux was a thrilling experience and I honestly can’t wait to be back this year. I am looking forward to coming back to race here in DTM this year, and hope I can build on my experience of last year.

Sachsenring is a track that I fell in love with last year. The long flowing high-speed corners with its tight and twisty first section make it one of the most enjoyable tracks I have driven. This is an old-school track with no run-off, leaving no margin for error. Battling here is challenging but there are nice overtaking opportunities and lots of action. Let's hope we can perform well and give everyone a nice race.

Another track that I raced at last year, but I am really happy to be returning to the Lausitzring. I think this is not only a great-looking track, with half of it being an oval but it is an absolute thrill to drive here. I personally see it as a mini Daytona and remember watching the DTM drive here for many years, the bumpy fast straights and slower “inner field” makes it a very variable track.

I think this is quite a special one, first of all, it is a street track, which I always enjoy. Of course, I have raced in Jeddah previously; however, this is quite different; Jeddah is quite a long lap with many high-speed corners, and Norisring is a very short circuit with only four corners. I have never driven here before, but this is a race weekend I am most looking forward to. Max Verstappen obviously had a very successful weekend here, and that is what kick-started his Formula One career. I am excited to go here and experience this very special and unique track.

Extremely happy to be racing on home soil for the fourth season in a row. Not only does it feel like my home race, but it’s also one of my favourite tracks. Scoring my first podium two years ago in the ADAC GT Master championship, as well as my first GT3 cup podium the year before. I hope to have a good race here.
