After a chaotic race this afternoon in Oschersleben the podium drivers express their thoughts.
-
1st
Christian Vietoris, (Original-Teile Mercedes AMG)
“As we currently aren’t among the front runners in normal conditions, I obviously hoped for rain. Perfect that it turned out that way. We wanted to use these chances and so we did. We had an ideal strategy. I am overjoyed. What a race!”

2nd
Mike Rockenfeller (Audi Sport Team Phoenix)
“In the DTM, it is like in everyday life. You should never give up. Today, I almost did. The tyre choice at the start of the race wasn’t optimal. Then, there was some contact with other drivers and many safety car interventions. I really didn’t know where we were anymore and I wanted to give up. Then, all of a sudden, my team told me on the radio that we were in contention for a top position. Unbelievable!”

3rd
Edoardo Mortara (Audi Sport Team Abt)
“Being on the podium again is a great feeling. Too bad, we could even have ended higher up, but I had problems with the handling of the car after the second stop. Nevertheless, we had a great strategy.”
