Epic Albon Win at the Nürburgring | Driving DTM

Albon celebrates first DTM career win with Nürburgring masterclass!
Thai driver Alex Albon celebrated the first DTM win of his career in Sunday's race eight at the iconic Nürburgring circuit to move up to fourth overall in the title race.
Following a difficult race seven on Saturday, Sunday's race could not have gone better for Albon as he managed difficult, wet conditions in his #23 Ferrari 488 GT3 Evo 2020 to top qualifying.
He remained calm during the race, despite numerous incidents and safety car periods, crossing the line after 38 laps with a lead of 4.6 seconds to record his first DTM series career victory and third 2021 trip to the podium following third-place finishes at Zolder and Monza.
Albon, 25, said: "A great day for the team, and for me too! Zolder had already gone well and we took another big step forward here and that after being essentially nowhere on Saturday. We were pondering that for a long time in the evening. We went in the right direction with the set-up today and we were rewarded with the win. I hope that we can take this momentum to the home race at the Red Bull Ring."
Ahmet Mercan, CEO of Red Bull's premium fashion brand AlphaTauri, added: "First DTM race victory! Congrats to Alex and the team. We are excited about a successful weekend in the 2021 DTM season."
While Albon's race eight victory on Sunday was a welcome bounce back from race-ending suspension problems on Saturday, teammate Liam Lawson did not enjoy the same turn of luck.
In race seven, the young New Zealander spun after a rival car made contact, falling way back through the field. He battled his way to the line, but missed out on points after finishing 13th.
Race eight also did not go as planned for Lawson. Starting in midfield, he was involved in multiple incidents that forced him to make extra pit stops and eventually retirement with suspension problems.
Lawson, 19, said: "A frustrating Sunday race to round off a frustrating weekend for us overall. I actually made a very good start today and we timed my pit stop well. When I came back out, I was in a battle with Maximilian Götz. Unfortunately, there was contact and he opened up my rear tyre so I had to come back in and continue on used tyres. I still managed to make a good restart and battled my way forward however there was then some chaos in the chicane during the battle with an Audi."
The points awarded for pole position and the race eight win see Albon move up now to fourth spot in the 2021 drivers' standings with 82 points as Lawson drops to fifth place on 80 points.
After eight races, Red Bull AlphaTauri AF Corse has scored 162 points and is in second place in the team standings with the next DTM stop from September 3-5 at the Red Bull Ring in Austria.

What's your favorite moment in this week's episode? 🤔

[@holidayher332]

2:31 "you are glowing in the dark" 😂😂

[@GreenGonzo-GG]

Driver duo's taking each other around the Nürburgring is always great. Also the final helicopter shot should go on for a minute or two, great outro shot, that countryside is beautiful.

[@punnisri9624]

Alex and Lily moment😊

[@rolandotillit2867]

I'll tell you what's my least, getting punted out of turn 2, just because it's happened to me so many times. Gutted for Lawson, of course the best is seeing Albon get a win!

[@gaelchandran6864]

The Nurburgring passenger rides in traffic. So funny

[@zeroc977]

It would be great if Williams accepts Red Bull's proposal and accepts Albon into their team. He deserves another shot at f1. EDIT: It's done deal bois! Albono is back!

[@Mixnar98]

AMEN

[@okbutwhocares]

Yeah, and since Williams stated they don't need pay drivers anymore, a talented young driver like Albono is a no brainer

[@nathaniel8979]

Amen indeed. Let's just cross our fingers for next year.

[@yessir7147]

Albon and De Vries could be the most exciting lineup in the last few years. I think Latifi is good in the seat too though

[@thekaradi]

Bottas and Albon will be a really good team

I can see exactly what you mean. He does always look at home near the cars

Albon has proven solid in testing and development. He can help Williams develop a competitive car. Plus he has a likeable personality like Russell.

[@KitKitChanIsaac]

we all want to see the f1 trio reunited
