SUCCESSFUL START INTO THE 2022 DTM FOR MERCEDES-AMG TEAM HRT

REVIEW | 1 May, 2022 | Portimão

The Mercedes-AMG Team HRT has started the 2022 DTM season with a podium finish. Luca Stolz (GER) drove his blue and yellow #4 Mercedes-AMG GT3 of team partner Bilstein to second place overall in the season opening race at Autódromo Internacional do Algarve in Portimão, Portugal. He also secured the additional point for the fastest race lap. In Sunday's geat, Stolz was less fortunate: due to a puncture following a collision caused by a competitor, the 26-year-old had to park his car shortly after the start of the race. His teammate Arjun Maini (IND) drove the blue and white PAUL Mercedes-AMG GT3 with the #36 to P17 on Saturday. In the second heat – starting from P25 after a difficult Qualifying –, he showed a strong performance and eventually crossed the finish line in P13.
