Green ends DTM season with victory

Jamie Green led an all-Audi podium at Hockenheim to finish the DTM season with his fourth victory of the year.

Green lined up second alongside Gary Paffett, but moved past the Mercedes polesitter at the hairpin on lap four, and led by 1.2 seconds by the end of the lap.

He built a lead that equated to three seconds over Mattias Ekstrom, maintained it during the pit stop window, and led the Swede home by 1.3s.

As a result, Green secures second in the standings by three points over Ekstrom and seven over Edoardo Mortara.

Italian Mortara completed the podium, despite starting 13th. He was the last driver to pit, setting a string of fastest laps while running in clean air to emerge fifth, then passed Timo Scheider and Paul di Resta in the second half of the race.

Fourth went to di Resta for Mercedes, ahead of

Saturday victor Scheider

. BMW's Maxime Martin finished sixth, leading a pack containing Antonio Felix da Costa, Bruno Spengler and Paffett, who lamented a lack of rear grip. Da Costa charged there from 19th, while Martin and Paffett fought heavily for a phase of the race either side of the pit stops.

The points finishes for Martin, da Costa and Spengler – and Martin Tomczyk in 10th – helped BMW secure the manufacturers' title by seven points over Audi.

New champion Pascal Wehrlein

was in the thick of the action, on an afternoon that probably featured more overtaking than any other this year. Having started a season-low 17th, he found plenty of contact in the pack, and had a particularly vigorous scrap for 17th mid-race with Nico Muller.

Wehrlein eventually finished 20th in his battered Mercedes, nearly one lap down, before beaching the car on a curb while completing celebratory donuts.

Adrien Tambay was enjoying his best run of the season, running third behind Ekstrom before the pit stops.

Mercedes driver Christian Vietoris was running a long first stint, like Mortara, but clashed with Miguel Molina on the run to the hairpin. He then lost the rear and collected an innocent Tambay, with Molina handed a drive-through penalty and eventually finishing 11th.
