German Container's crew is half professional and half amateur. Helmsman Marcus Wieser belongs, of course, to the first half: he was Dragon World and European Champion in 2007, among many other titles.

Like the rest of the team, Wieser is trying to do his best to catch Alfa Romeo in this 28 Copa del Rey Audi Mapfre. But Germans are known to be sincere, and Wieser is not an exception, "Alfa Romeo is 7 feet bigger and it will be very difficult to beat him", he says.

And he's sincere about his likes and dislikes too, as he shows in this interview, where he tells us about his favourite classes, and the characteristics of the IRC boats, " a class in which it's difficult to know how fast you are in relation to the rest of the fleet", he adds.
