Mercedes DTM driver Luca Stolz says he had to fight hard to defend his podium position at Zandvoort as the BMW of Marco Wittmann ‘felt 100km/h faster’ on straights.Stolz finished third in the second of the two races at the Dutch venue on Sunday, holding off two-time champion Wittmann by just 0.249s in a tense battle.
Speaking after his first podium result since last year’s Red Bull Ring event, Stolz said he had to rely on Mercedes’ superior traction out of the corners to keep Wittmann at bay on Zandvoort’s straights. “Then it was quite easy to defend because in the last laps I saw if I do no mistakes then he will stay behind.”
“My hope was that maybe toward the end of the race his tires would go down. But in the end, there was nothing we could do.”
