Mike
Rockenfeller used his inherited pole position to take a dominant win in the DTM race at Brands Hatch, leading from the outset Rockenfeller led all bar a few laps benefiting from perfect strategy for this the British round of the DTM. Bruno Spengler took an inherited second place once Augusto Farfus's BMW coasted into retirement.
Superior tyre strategy and a yellow flag penalty for Gary Paffet allowed Robert Wickens to claim the final podium position, finishing highest placed Mercedes driver as well. The penalised Paffet dropped behind BMW drivers Marco Wittmann and Joey Hand to sixth overall, just in front of former champion Mattias Ekstrom in his Audi.
Rockenfeller now leads the championship but the close nature of the racing, enhanced by the Hankook tyres means any of 10 drivers could be crowned DTM champion at the end of the season.
