Christian Klien is an Austrian racing driver best known for his time in Formula One between 2004 and 2010. Since moving on from grand prix racing, he has continued competing in motorsport, most recently turning his attention to touring cars in the DTM. Racer DB lists Klien as retired, with his DTM ledger showing six career starts for JP Motorsport and no wins, podiums, or championships to his name in the series.[1]
In the 2026 DTM season, Klien again drove for JP Motorsport, taking part in all six rounds without securing a win or podium finish, and he ended the campaign 20th in the standings. His Racer Rating stands at 6,328, placing him 51st among active drivers on the database's Elo-style scale, on which the leading drivers in the world sit in the 10,000 to 11,500 range. That figure reflects a career in its later, more modest phase, well removed from the front-running days of his Formula One tenure, with his DTM stint serving as a low-key coda to a long career in motorsport.[2]
