It was a season of curious form. While Wittmann was dominant, frontrunning pace was hard to come by for the rest of the BMW drivers. Audi, meanwhile, had a lightning quick car but struggled to win races, while Mercedes picked up wins even though its C-Coupe lacked the aero and balance of the other two cars.
