2025 season

Drivers

In the 2025 motorsport season, our brand is again represented by a first-class international driver line-up. As of now, the provisional roster consists of nine Performance Drivers and one Junior Driver. The driver line-up for 2025 will continue to grow gradually until the respective championships commence.

Performance Driver

Ralf Aron

Ralf Aron has been part of Mercedes-AMG junior roster since 2023. Previously, the young Estonian mainly raced in single-seaters. Following his title win in Italian Formula 4 in 2015, he raced in European Formula 3 in 2016 and 2017. Having secured third place in the FIA F3 World Cup at Macau, he made the switch from driving to team management for a period. In 2023, he gave his comeback behind the wheel racing of the Mercedes-AMG GT3, among others, in ADAC GT Masters and GT World Challenge. He finished runner-up in the drivers' championship of the ADAC GT Masters and made a significant contribution to the Haupt Racing Team securing the team championship. This was followed by his first successes on the Nürburgring Nordschleife in 2024, taking class victories at the 24h Nürburgring Qualifiers as well as in the Nürburgring Endurance Series.

He repeated this success with WINWARD Racing in 2024, putting his name to the Daytona winners' list for a second time.

For Maximilian Götz, his success story started early: after a successful career in karting and participation in the Formula 3 Euro Series, the driver from Ochsenfurt in Germany switched to GT racing in 2009 and embarked on his first full-season campaign in the ADAC GT Masters in 2011. It didn’t take long for success to set in: only one year after his debut season, Maximilian secured the drivers’ and teams’ titles in the series. Boosted by his achievements in GT racing, he competed with Mercedes-AMG Motorsport in the DTM for two years. In 2021, the first DTM season with GT3 regulations, Maximilian took the drivers’ champion crown in the season finale at Norisring.
