Mattias Ekstrom starts the 2008 season in the best possible way by winning the race at Hockenheim. Audi thus confirms its status as a leader this year.<\/p>\n
\u00ab It was a very good weekend for us from the first round to the checkered flag, \u00bb said Ekstr\u00f6m.<\/p>\n
\u00ab We were convinced that a good race result was possible here. We had a solid race with two very good pit stops. You always hope to have a good start to the season and for me, I am very happy with my 10 points, it’s simply incredible. \u00bb<\/p>\n
The victorious team even achieves the triple, Timo Scheider is second less than a second behind his teammate. This situation is rare enough to be noted. He has been very close to Ekstr\u00f6m on several occasions but never close enough to attempt an overtake.<\/p>\n
Tom Kristensen takes third place, losing six seconds in the last lap. He finishes more than 19 seconds behind the leader, just ahead of the first Mercedes…<\/p>\n
And indeed, Spengler is the best Mercedes driver with his fourth place while di Resta faced numerous difficulties. After the second stop, something was wrong. A problem with the nut on the rear tire forced his team to stop him again. Due to this delay, di Resta dropped to 13th place.<\/p>\n
Martin Tomczyk finishes 5th after starting the race from 7th position. The German lost a tough battle against Spengler over the last two laps but went a little too wide in a corner, ruining his chances for 4th place.<\/p>\n
Jamie Green arrives home in 6th position for Mercedes after a rather calm race, Gary Paffett takes 7th place.<\/p>\n
Bernd Schneider clinches the last point, ahead of Oliver Jarvis. The rookie Ralf Schumacher is 14th, 49.8 seconds behind the winner.<\/p>\n
