At the Nurburgring, Nicki Thiim lost his temper because of Tom Kalender - and accused Mercedes-AMG of having sent the Landgraf driver after him. In Saturday's race at the Sachsenring, the Aston Martin title contender once again clashed with the youngster - and is now hitting back verbally. Thiim says Kalender did not leave him enough room when defending, as is actually required in the DTM.
"This is now the second time that this has happened with him. Nurburgring was the first time - now again," fumes Thiim, who eventually finished eighth. "That's why I gave him a little nudge down at the hairpin. But nothing where I say it's completely out of control or anything like that. It's part of it - and it has to be part of it in my world. I live in an old-school rock'n'roll world."
