Overview
- Maro Engel won Sunday at the Red Bull Ring to end Mercedes’ 23-year wait for a DTM victory in Austria, with Marco Wittmann second and Lucas Auer third.
- He took the lead through an undercut on lap 13 during the first pit-stop window, using warmer fresh tires to pass polesitter Kelvin van der Linde in DTM’s two-stop format.
- Marco Wittmann climbed from ninth on the grid to P2 after stopping early and making key passes once his tires were up to temperature.
- Kelvin van der Linde fell from pole to sixth and later said Schubert-BMW made the wrong calls on pit timing.
- The championship now moves to Zandvoort in the Netherlands on May 22–24.
