Yesterday we published the press release from the CarXpert Interwetten team regarding the immediate dismissal of Dominique Aegerter.
We therefore consider it right to also publish a translation of the Swiss pilot's response.
Dominique Aegerter: “I don't understand the team's reaction and it's also difficult for me to accept it. I am very, very disappointed. In my opinion, I didn't do anything wrong when I signed with another team. This contract includes all the prerequisites I wanted to have for the next season. Apart from that, I have a valid driver's contract with my current team, which I would like to honor until the end of the season, and, as always, I wanted to give my best during the last races. However, the end of this very long-term cooperation is very unpleasant. I really feel sorry for this way of saying goodbye to my mentor and sponsor, Mr. Olivier Metraux. On the other hand, together with my manager, Dr. Robert Siegrist, we tried everything to fulfill my contract until the end of the season. So, I can only hope that there will be something else for the final races of this year. Regarding my shoulder, I feel better and in good physical condition day after day. I'm a driver and I don't want to do anything other than race. The last races should also help me regain my level of performance. Either way, we are doing everything to be back on a racing machine soon. »
