Chinese racer Cheng Congfu of the stern AMG Mercedes and other racers compete during the DTM (Deutsche Tourenwagen Masters) season finale in Shanghai, China, 28 November 2010. Paul di Resta drove for the championship, not the race win in the DTM (Deutsche Tourenwagen Masters) season finale in Shanghai Sunday (28 November 2010), and his approach paid off with the 2010 series championship, as he finished the race second behind title rival and Mercedes teammate Gary Paffett. After all the incidents in qualifying, the race was started from behind a safety car, with di Resta at the front of the field. The Scot had a three-point deficit to championship leader Bruno Spengler at the start, but Spengler had to take the start from the back of the field after crashing out in qualifying. That made di Restas job much easier, as he was six points ahead of Paffett, who took the start next to him, finish on the podium, and the title should be his, unless Spengler would be able to pull off a miracle from the back. On lap four, as di Resta and Paffett took off into the race lead, Spengler put his plan into action. He overtook Congfu Cheng and Maro Engel early, and then made both his mandatory pit stops in quick succession to get a clear track. Paffett was cruising to an unchallenged finish, and second place in the title chase, as di Resta focused on securing the championship. For di Resta, the championship season may be his last in the DTM: the Scot is strongly favoured to move up to Formula One to take on one of the Force India race seats for the 2011 season.
