Team Bernhard recruit Preining engaged in a race-long battle with Muller’s Audi in Saturday’s opening contest in Austria, the duo involved in three separate clashes at the Turn 3 right-hander.
The first two incidents had already attracted the attention of the stewards, with Preining having to give back the position to Muller for a move that was deemed illegal. But with just seven laps to go in the race the Austrian banged wheels with Muller yet again as they jostled for a crucial fifth position.
