Saturday at Oschersleben was already a disaster for Nicki Thiim with 18th on the grid and 12th at the finish, which caused a lot of frustration. But on Sunday, things got even worse for the DTM mid-season champion: In qualifying, where the Aston Martin pilot only managed 19th despite an adjusted Balance of Performance (BoP), tire manufacturer Pirelli made a grave mistake.
"This morning, to put it professionally, Pirelli put the front tires on the rear rims - and vice versa," Thiim reveals. "I'm glad it's over, to be honest - a weekend to completely write off."
