Norisring DTM: Mattias Ekstrom excluded, Robert Wickens gets win
Mattias Ekstrom has been stripped of his Norisring DTM victory, giving Robert Wickens a maiden win
Ekstrom was adjudged to have broken the series' parc ferme regulations when he was given water while celebrating his on-the-road victory.
The decision brings polesitter Wickens up to first place in an all-Mercedes top three.
Christian Vietoris is now classified second, with Daniel Juncadella getting his first podium in third.
Audi subsequently gave notice of its intention to appeal against the ruling.
Ekstrom has also been given a €1000 fine for not putting the steering wheel back on his Abt Audi in parc ferme.
Gary Paffett and Edoardo Mortara have received five-place grid penalties, suspended for two events, for their late-race crash while fighting for the podium.
