BMW driver Sheldon van der Linde was 'jinxed' at Oschersleben as he suffered a torrid start to his DTM title defence, feels his team boss Marcel Schmidt.
Schubert Motorsport feels reigning DTM champion Sheldon van der Linde was “jinxed” after his title defence got off to a torrid start at Oschersleben last weekend.Van der Linde scored just five points across the two races at the 3.7km track in Germany, and his lack of one-lap pace was a particular cause of concern as he failed to qualify higher than 15th in his BMW M4 GT3.
Schubert team manager Marcel Schmidt was naturally disappointed after the weekend, with new signing Rene Rast also failing to finish higher than fifth, but expects things to get better when DTM heads to Zandvoort for the second round on June 24-25. “The mistake at his pitstop on Saturday certainly annoyed us the most, but it hits everyone at some point.
