A hot race at the Lausitzring, and not just because of the high temperatures: Emil Frey Ferrari driver Matteo Cairoli celebrates his second win of the season in Sunday’s second race and at the same time takes the lead in the overall standings. But the Italian had to worry about the victory right up to the checkered flag.
Because Comtoyou Aston Martin driver Nicki Thiim, who had already started from pole position the day before, put the Ferrari driver under massive pressure in the closing stages. Despite his fresher tyres, the Dane could not find a way past and ultimately missed out on Aston Martin’s first DTM victory by just 0.413 seconds.
