In Saturday’s DTM race at the Sachsenring, Manthey-Porsche driver Thomas Preining collided in the battle for the lead. In Sunday’s DTM race, he did it again. After Saturday’s crash, the Austrian called himself an "idiot" but his review of the collision with Jack Aitken on Sunday left him with a very different opinion of events.
"Jack made a small mistake in the last sector, then I was close and tried it in the first corner," Preining explained, offering his perspective of how the crash played out. "I went to the inside, with the late braking point, and he knows that once you brake late, you can't get out of the move anymore."
