Jamie Green (Mika’s teammate in the HWA AG team) is the winner of the ninth DTM season round at the Circuit de Catalunya near Barcelona. At the 2.977 kilometres long track, the Briton won from his fellow Mercedes-Benz drivers Bruno Spengler and Paul di Resta. For Green, it was his maiden victory in the DTM. The points’ scoring positions were completed by Alexandros Margaritis, Gary Paffett, Mathias Lauda (all Mercedes-Benz), Mike Rockenfeller and Lucas Luhr (both Audi). On the 50th of 58 laps, Audi had withdrawn all its remaining cars from the race as they had judged the driving conduct of the Mercedes-Benz drivers as being unfair. Before the season final at the Hockenheimring Baden-Württemberg, Mattias Ekstrà¶m is leading the drivers’ standings with 44 points from Bruno Spengler (42 points) and Martin Tomczyk (40 points).
