No more 2011 racing for Mertens.

TouringCar racer Patrick Mertens has spent this weekend in the spectator area, and does not plan to race again this year. “I got a black flag last weekend [in Belgium] and I don’t think I really deserved it, but what has upset me is that after the finish of the race the other driver crashed into my car and he only got a warning, not a black flag. I think that I have had some other decisions like this and it does not feel fair or nice so I’ve decided to have a rest and think about what I want to do. My car is for sale, I might build a new one, or maybe not, I don’t know yet,” said Mertens.
