Miguel Molina González (born 17 February 1989 in Girona, Catalonia, Spain) is a Spanish racing driver, who competed in the DMSB Deutsche Tourenwagen Masters Championship between 2010 and 2016.[1] A three-time race winner in the DTM, Molina would have a fairly quiet seven season spell in the DTM, finishing a best Championship position of tenth during the DTM career.[2]
Molina was signed by Audi ahead of the 2010 season, who placed him in the Abt Sportsline "Rookie" effort for the campaign, racing as a lone driver.[3] The Spanish racer would go on to claim debut points, with a promising campaign seeing Molina claim tenth in the Championship with a best finish of fourth.[4]
Retained as a junior driver by Abt Sportsline for 2011, Molina would have a more difficult season, although he would score his maiden podium finish at the season finale in Hockenheim.[2] Moved across to Phoenix Racing for the 2012 season, Molina would have an even more trying season, slipping back to eighteenth in the Championship.[5]
A similar campaign would follow for 'Molina in 2013, with the Spanish racer having to wait until the second half of the season to score points.[6] Regardless, Molina was promoted into the full factory Abt Sportsline entry for the 2014, although his only highlight would be a second podium finish at the 2014 Hungaroring Race.[7]
Remaining with Abt for 2015 Molina would have another mixed campaign, claiming his maiden victory at the 2015 Nürburgring Race 2, but only scoring in three other races.[8] As a result the Spanish racer was moved to Abt's secondary team for 2016, with yet another mixed season seeing him claim two victories but only score in four rounds.[1]
At the end of the 2016 season Molina left the Audi Sport driver roster, instead taking a seat as a factory Ferrari driver in their various customer GT programmes.[9]
Background[]
Another member of the karting club, Molina's first chance in a racing car came in 2004 with Spanish Formula Junior 1600, where he finished in sixth overall.[9] From there, Molina moved on to the Formula Renault Eurocup for a season, before entering both the Formula Renault 3.5 Series and Spanish Formula 3 in 2006.[10] Sixth and 32nd in either championship saw Molina adopt the Formula Renault 3.5 Series over the following years.[10]
Four seasons in Formula Renault 3.5 Series saw Molina achieve a best championship finish of fourth, taking four wins.[9] 2009 also saw Molina take a chance in the Superleague Formula at the start of the season, where his only two appearances earned him nineteenth overall.[9]
DTM History[]
A debut came for Molina at Hockenheim in 2010, with ABT Sportsline taking on the young Spaniard, where he took the final point.[9] Further points were seen throughout the season, with Molina just missing out on the podium at Brands Hatch in the closing stages of the race.[9] Tenth overall saw Molina retained for 2011, although his season started pointlessly.[9] It took until the eighth round in Oschersleben for him to score, before ending the season on the podium at the season finale at Hockenheim.[9]
Phoenix Racing adopted Molina for 2012, where Molina again had a difficult season saw Molina only score points a two races, as he plummeted to the eighteenth in the Championship.[11] Retained for 2013, Molina again looked to be struggling as he failed to score a point in the first half of the season.[11] However, four points finishes in the final four races showed Molina still held his pace, doubling his tally from 2012.[11]
Abt Sportsline took Molina back for 2014 where he would double his tally, once again, from the season before.[11] A second place at the Hungaroring was the highlight of the season, with Molina re-signed for 2015.[8]
