Overview
- Ricardo Feller (Land-Audi) passed polesitter Thierry Vermeulen on track and secured his first win of the season, with Vermeulen second and Lucas Auer third.
- Auer returned to the championship lead, while Rene Rast fell to third overall after two penalty laps for an unsafe release and crossing the pit entry line.
- Early incidents upended the title picture as Marco Wittmann was hit at Turn 1, Jack Aitken dropped back with a puncture from P3, and Thomas Preining pitted with tyre damage.
- Germany’s DMSB reviewed Schubert Motorsport’s public “Ansage” to avoid intra-team fighting after Saturday’s BMW place swap and found the media statements and radio logs insufficient to open proceedings.
- In the NLS, Max Verstappen missed a required result for the Nordschleife Permit A when his second car did not complete a race lap, leaving any license decision to DMSB discretion.
