Only a few weeks after the announcement of the upcoming departure of three-time DTM champion René Rast, Audi now announced that Swiss Nico Müller will be leaving the brand with the four rings at the end of the year as well.?

幾個禮拜前，三屆DTM冠軍拉斯特剛剛宣布將離開奧迪?，F(xiàn)在，奧迪再次發(fā)出公告，瑞士車手尼克·穆勒同樣會在賽季結(jié)束后離開四環(huán)廠隊。

As a result, Müller, who has been racing in DTM for the Ingolstadt brand since 2014 and has scored eleven DTM race wins to date, will have what for the moment is his final outing as an Audi works driver during the DTM season finale at Hockenheimring Baden-Württemberg from 7 till 9 October.

這樣一來，10月7-9號的霍根海姆站，就將是穆勒作為奧迪車手的最后一場比賽。這名瑞士車手從2014賽季起就為奧迪效力至今，為因戈爾施塔特車廠拿下了11場DTM分站勝利。

In 2019 and 2020, Müller became runner-up in the DTM standings with the team from the Allg?u. For 2021, he returned to Team Rosberg and in the 2022 season, he scored his eleventh DTM race win in the Sunday race during the season opener at Portim?o.

穆勒在2019和2020賽季均拿到了年度亞軍的成績，2021年則是回歸羅斯伯格車隊，并在今年的揭幕戰(zhàn)波爾帝芒上拿到了生涯第11勝。

Recently, Müller, who married his long-time partner Victoria Paschold during the DTM summer break, already announced that he will be racing for the ABT team in Formula E next year, together with his former DTM teammate Robin Frijns.?

前不久剛剛大婚的穆勒，已經(jīng)宣布下賽季將加盟ABT車隊，征戰(zhàn)Formula E，同行的還有他在DTM的前隊友羅賓·弗林斯。

“In addition to Formula E, Nico sees his future at Le Mans and in prototype racing,” Audis head of motorsport Rolf Michl says. “We can’t offer him that at the moment, so it was with a heavy heart that we jointly decided to let him go and give him the opportunity to realize his dream.”

“除了FE，尼克認為自己能在勒芒和原型車比賽里找到一席之地，”奧迪運動部門負責人羅爾夫·米歇爾說道，“目前我們沒辦法為他提供這樣的平臺，所以很遺憾，經(jīng)過討論，我們達成共識，現(xiàn)在是時候放手讓他去追逐自己的夢想了?！?/p>

Müller himself speaks about a “very difficult decision” and explains: “Audi gave me the chance to enter professional motorsport. I owe a lot to the company and am a big fan of the brand and its cars. Also, the cooperation with Audi in Switzerland has always been great and very special for me. I still have goals in motorsport that unfortunately cannot be realised with Audi. That’s why I’m very grateful to Rolf Michl for giving me the opportunity to develop further.”

穆勒自己形容，這是一個“極其艱難的決定”，并解釋說：“奧迪是我進去職業(yè)賽場的領(lǐng)路人，他們給了我很多幫助，我也成為了奧迪的絕對車迷。同時，和奧迪在瑞士的各種合作對我個人而言都有著特殊的意義。不幸的是，我在賽車運動里還有未完成的事，而這些，在奧迪這里沒辦法實現(xiàn)。我很感激羅爾夫可以給我這個進一步發(fā)展自己的機會?！?/p>
