News snippets
Istanbul, here we come: Next weekend’s 16th round of the 2021 season takes Formula One to Istanbul Park, which made its comeback in the premier class of motorsport last year. The Turkish Grand Prix was previously staged at this same venue between 2005 and 2011. So far, there have been five different winners on the 5.338 km circuit, with Felipe Massa leading the way on three victories. Lewis Hamilton has won the Turkish GP twice so far (2010, 2020). Last year’s win was not only the first for the Mercedes-AMG Petronas F1 Team in Istanbul, but also the one that secured the F1 Drivers’ World Championship for the seventh time in Lewis’s career. Mercedes’ tally of four victories in eight races also makes it the most successful engine manufacturer in the Turkish #event: in addition to the two wins by Lewis, the brand with the three-pointed star also ran out winners on the circuit’s F1 debut in 2005, with Kimi Räikkönen at the wheel of a McLaren-Mercedes, and in the 2009 season when Jenson Button drove the Brawn GP. The track record dating back to 2011 was clocked by Sebastian Vettel in a time of 1:25.049 minutes. The fastest race lap to date was set by Juan-Pablo Montoya in a McLaren-Mercedes (1:24.770 minutes) at the inaugural Turkish GP in the 2005 season.
Mercedes-AMG celebrates early manufacturers’ championship in the #dtm at the Hockenheimring: Mercedes-AMG Motorsport has already wrapped up the #dtm Manufacturers’ Championship ahead of the final race weekend of the 2021 campaign at the Norisring (8 ‑ 10 October). By virtue of a strong all-round result in the penultimate #event at the Hockenheimring and a 107-point lead over the opposition, Mercedes-AMG can no longer be denied the title. For the Customer Sports programme, this title also spells a successful comeback in the new #dtm.
Having started Sunday’s race at Hockenheim from second on the grid, Lucas Auer (AUT) in the number 22 car of Mercedes-AMG Team WINWARD immediately surged into the lead, which he then comfortably retained through to the chequered flag for his second win of the season. Maximilian Götz (GER) delivered another podium success with P3, which was enough to take the Mercedes-AMG Team HRT veteran up to third place in the drivers’ standings, 26 points adrift of the championship leader with one weekend still remaining.
William Tregurtha (GBR) in the number 85 Mercedes-AMG GT4 of CV Performance Group finished second overall in both #dtmtrophy races. The Brit goes into the Norisring finale, which will be contested as part of the #dtm support programme, just three points behind the leader.
One-two win and podium appearances in the ADAC GT Masters at the Sachsenring: In the tenth round of the 2021 ADAC GT Masters at the Sachsenring on Sunday, Team Zakspeed Mobil Krankenkasse #racing and Mercedes-AMG Team Toksport WRT made it a one-two for the brand. While Jules Gounon (FRA) and Igor Waliłko (POL) in the number 13 car were completing a commanding lights-to-flag victory in Sunday’s second race, Maro Engel and Luca Stolz (both GER) in the #22 GT3 secured second place after an impressive overtaking move on the last lap. The duo had already booked the same result on Saturday. The two podium finishes for Engel and Stolz take them up to second place in the drivers’ championship, just two points behind the current leaders, with two race weekends remaining. Next stop for the series is the Hockenheimring on the weekend of 22 ‑ 24 October.
