Some days you win - some days you loose. Today we had both 🙈 First of all big congrats to @follow_wrt , @dries_vanthoor1 & @sheldonvanderlinde for the first win in IMSA 🏆

On our side I made a misjudgement at the restart. This put us at the back of the field including a drive through penalty. Apologies go out to @romandeangelis 🙏! It was never my intention to destroy your and your teams race result.

Let’s come back stronger and finish the season on a high at the final with @philipp_eng & @kevinmagnussen 💪🏼

WHAT WAS THE MOST MEMORABLE MOMENT IN YOUR MOTORSPORT CAREER?

I have several highlights here:

The most memorable moment was, of course, becoming the DTM Champion 2014
DTM Champion 2016 because it was a confirmation that I had done it again
My most emotional victory was certainly winning the home race at the Norisring in 2018
Winning the kick-off race of the class-1-era at Hockenheim in 2019 together with BMW and Schaeffler was also a special event

circuit overview

The race circuit was founded as Österreichring and hosted the Austrian Grand Prix for 18 consecutive years, from 1970 to 1987. It was later shortened, rebuilt, and renamed the A1-Ring, and it hosted the Austrian Grand Prix again from 1997 to 2003. When Formula One outgrew the circuit, a plan was drawn up to extend the layout. Parts of the circuit, including the pits and main grandstand, were demolished. Still, construction work was stopped, and the circuit remained unusable for several years before it was purchased by Red Bull's Dietrich Mateschitz and rebuilt. The Red Bull Ring was renamed, and the track was reopened on 15 May 2011.
