Mercs were punting cars off left, right and center - well to be fair everyone was hitting each other !

So Audi protested my pulling their cars - half points apparently have been awarded

alot of nonsense

Hey, us Mercedes drivers own the road, don't you know?

shout Get out of my way!

PS isn't bumping part of touring car fun? Or is it just reserved for the school run?

That wasn't bumping, it was systematic taking out.

Utterly disgusting from Merc. I'm especially disappointed in Hakkinen, as I was a massive fan of his in F1 and he was always scrupulously fair on track.

it was no different from a normal DTM race to be quite honest
Mika would never do that - alot of drivers out braked themselves into turn 1 simply because there's not that much grip there (the shortened start straight is hardly used) and that you would normally continued another 200meters to the real turn 1 and i would think you would naturally be looking down the full straight

Lauda was naughty though

Perhaps they have been listening to Jacky Ickx "DTM is too rough for my daughter"

No mention on Autosport that half points have been awarded. Still reporting that Spengler is now within two points of the championship lead which is only the case if full points were awarded.

Race was no worse than the one at Barcelona last year, it appears to be the nature of the track made worse by cars quallifying out of position due to the wet qually session.

Hakkinen was more clumsy than malicious IMO. Still poor form taking out the leader of the race!
