The footballers were uninjured and have resumed training in the South Tyrol area of Italy.

Rosberg, currently leading the F1 championship, tweeted: "My thoughts are with the two people who were injured and I wish them a fast recovery."

The road had been closed to the public for the promotional event.

Mercedes-Benz Motorsport said in a statement: "An accident occurred during a visit to the training camp of the German National Football Team: while driving on a closed circuit, DTM driver Pascal Wehrlein injured two people whom he unexpectedly encountered walking on the closed course.

"We cannot offer any statement concerning the severity of injuries, as both injured parties are currently undergoing medical treatment. Pascal Wehrlein was uninjured in the accident.

Neither of the footballers was hurt
