An action-packed and exciting Belgian Grand Prix in Spa today saw MERCEDES GP PETRONAS drivers Nico Rosberg and Michael Schumacher come home in sixth and seventh places to score valuable points for the team.

The mixed weather conditions benefitted the pair as they stayed out on their dry tyres before switching to intermediates on lap 34 when the heaviest rain shower of the afternoon arrived.

Jamie Green, best placed of the contestants in a year-old car after four races of the 2010 DTM season and winner of the previous DTM weekend at the Norisring:
