Jamie wins in Spain
Jamie Green claimed his first ever DTM win in an extraordinary race at Barcelona.
Jamie took the lead as the second round of pitstops played out, and having made an early second stop, he faced a long stint on his final set on tyres. But as he was bracing himself for a difficult run to the flag, came the news that Audi had withdrawn all its cars after what it perceived as deliberately harsh driving by Jamie’s Mercedes-Benz team-mates.
“At the end of the race I didn’t see a single car,” he said. “I thought that’s just what happened when everything is going you way! It’s a strange feeling, but I think after all the things that have happened to me, the DTM owed some good fortune.
“Often the DTM isn’t about having the fastest car, it’s about being in the right place at the right time. And that’s what happened to me. I think I would have won the race even with the Audi’s there, so I don’t feel that I was really that lucky.”
After an average start, Jamie made up two places with a bold move around the outside of Timo Scheider and Alex Margaritis into the first corner. With Audi’s points leader Mattias Ekstrom behind him in the early stages, he concentrated on keeping the Swede behind, rather than chasing down the car ahead.
After getting back on track following his first pitstop, he got held up by the Alex Premat’s Audi, which had yet to stop. The team brought him in for an early second stop and this proved to be a winning move. A drive-through penalty for team-mate Bruno Spengler took his main rival out of contention, but Jamie was still left with a nervous run to the flag.
“In the end each lap seemed to last about 10 minutes!” he reckoned. “I was just trying to keep focused and concentrate on every braking point, every apex and not let my mind wander. The tyres were getting really old at the end, so I just had to keep a steady pace, but one that was quick enough to keep the lead.”
Having scored his first win in almost three seasons in the championship, Jamie goes into the final round at Hockenheim with a fresh state of mind.
“I feel that this is how it should have been from the start,” he said. “And hopefully this is how it will be from now on.”
The final DTM round takes place at Hockenheim on October 28.
