Lausitzring DTM: Audi's Jamie Green takes second win of 2015

Polesitter Miguel Molina assumed the early lead, ahead of Green, Edoardo Mortara and Mattias Ekstrom, underlining Audi's domination of the weekend.

The quartet were never split by more than two seconds, and pressure built as the 40 minutes passed, despite Green not having the use of DRS in his bid to take the lead.

However, he continued to bide his time, and pounced with eight minutes to go, passing Molina down the inside at the first corner.

He put his head down, and built a 1.1-second margin over the remainder of the lap to skip clear of the DRS zone, extended that to two seconds the next time around and eventually finished 4.251s clear.

Sweetening the deal, Green's 10th career victory also moved him into the championship lead.

After being passed by Green, Molina lost places to Mortara and Ekstrom at Turn 1 on the subsequent laps, and it remained an all-Audi top four.

Maxime Martin managed to run with the Audis for the bulk of the race in his BMW, only to lose late places to Mercedes pair Pascal Wehrlein and Robert Wickens, who finished fifth and sixth.

Martin held on to seventh, resisting a late challenge from Timo Scheider, as Mike Rockenfeller and Daniel Juncadella rounded out the top 10.

Reigning champion Marco Wittmann faded from points contention to finish 13th, while BMW stablemate Tom Blomqvist fared even worse.

The rookie ran as high as seventh, but lost ground during the middle third of the race after being passed by Wehrlein. An off-track excursion followed and he eventually finished 22nd.
