DTM – Paffett vs Spengler, place your bets!

Could we dream of better suspense for the finale of the DTM 2012? At the start of the last round, leader Gary Paffett, who wears the colors of Mercedes, has 127 points. His runner-up Bruno Spengler, who defends the interests of BMW, is only three points behind. And if the bookmakers waited for the qualifications to see things more clearly, they are hardly any further ahead.

Indeed, Gary Paffett set the second fastest time in qualifying behind Augusto Farfus. But tomorrow the Briton will see his Canadian opponent settle in just behind him on the starting grid, who misses the first row by...seven thousandths. “I am in the best position to overtake Gary, asserts the latter, as if to put pressure on his British rival. I'm just one place behind him and obviously I'll do everything I can to be in front of him at the end. I can not wait to be there. This will, for sure, be an extremely interesting battle. »

Gary Paffett, who has never lost the reins of the general classification since the start of the season, is also extremely confident. “I'm really very relaxed, He says. We worked hard on the car, and prepared everything for the finale. It's great to drive. Although I'm surrounded by two BMWs at the start, I'm not worried. They are all fair-play drivers, who also want to win, but in a correct way. »

You must not arrive late tomorrow at Hockenheim. The start will be at 14 p.m. Be careful, with 109 points, Jamie Green, 10th on the grids, still has a mathematical chance of taking the crown.
