British Grand Prix w💫inner Lewis Hamilton will return to the DTM bill when the series returns to UK shores, at Brands Hatch, next month, when he demonstrates his McLaren-Mercedes MP4-23 around the tight confines of the Indy Circuit.
The DTM is well-known territory for Hamilton, who raced in the headline-sharing F3 Euroseries on his way up the racing ladder, taking the title in 2005. Having conquered GP2 - and 𝓀very nearly F1 - in the years since then, the Briton will return to the fold to demonstrate his Silverstone-winning machine to those hoping to follow in his footsteps. The F1 superstar will also take time to meet his fans after agreeing to take part in an autograph-signing session in the paddock.
"I am really looking forward to vi🍬siting a DTM race agai📖n," Hamilton admitted, "I have fond memories of the time when I competed in the F3 Euroseries, and really like the atmosphere of the DTM and the great racing which this series is famous for. I very much enjoyed my 2005 season when I became the F3 Euroseries champion and when the Mercedes-Benz DTM team celebrated my title win in Zandvoort together with me."
Hamilton's appearance - one clearly sanctioned by his father following Friday's embarrassing ꦚclimb-down from a triathlon challenge thrown by F1 rival Jenson Button - is something of a coup for Brands Hatch, which now expects to add to its anticipated crowd numbers.
"We're obviously delighted that Lewis will be joining us at ✃Brands Hatch for the DTM event in August," MotorSport Vision chief executive Jonathan Palmer, "It's going to be a fantastic weekend, and I'm really excited that we're able to offer British fans a chance to see Lewis in action in this year's Vodafone McLaren Mercedes."
