Alexandros Margaritis

Alexandros Margaritis has the kind of border-crossing story I find irresistible. Born in Bonn to Greek parents, he carries dual heritage onto the track, racing for two homelands at once. What impresses me is his range: he honed his craft in European single-seater formula racing before reinventing himself in the German DTM touring car championship. Moving from open-wheel machines to roofed production-based cars demands a real recalibration of instincts, and that adaptability says a lot about him. I have a soft spot for drivers who refuse to be boxed into one discipline, and Margaritis clearly chased the racing wherever it led.

Alexandros "Alex" Margaritis (Greek: Αλέξανδρος Μαργαρίτης; born 20 September 1984) is a Greek-German racing driver who is best known for competing in the German-based Deutsche Tourenwagen Masters touring car championship. Prior to that, his career had focused on formula single seater racing in Europe. Margaritis has dual nationality as a result of his place of birth and Greek parentage.
