DTM - Red Bull Ring: Wittmann wins it, from Farfus, Glock, Tomczyk, Scheider and Tambay. Green moves over to allow Ekstrom into seventh on the run to the line, while Vietoris and Spengler complete the top 10.
DTM - Red Bull Ring: Spengler and Molina also right with this scrap.
DTM - Red Bull Ring: Green squeezes Vietoris out wide at Turn 2, allowing Ekstrom to slip past the Merc into eighth.
DTM - Red Bull Ring: Fastest lap of the race for Rockenfeller, who we haven't mentioned at all until now. That's because he's 13th, as he has been for most of the race.
DTM - Red Bull Ring: Vietoris, on his soft tyres, is now just a second behind Green with four laps to go.
DTM - Red Bull Ring: Martin won that frenetic scrap we mentioned, and has now sailed past Paffett for 14th at Turn 2.
DTM - Red Bull Ring: It's a bit processional at the front now, but there's a cracking scrap for 15th between Muller, Juncadella and Martin.
DTM - Red Bull Ring: Tambay has now passed Green for sixth.
DTM - Red Bull Ring: So, 12 laps to go, and it's Wittmann from Farfus, Glock, Tomczyk and Scheider in the leading group. Green holding off Tambay for sixth. Then Vietoris, Ekstrom and Spengler, all on soft tyres. They could well catch Green and Tambay by the end.
DTM - Red Bull Ring: Mercedes has now said it's going to protest the whole race, so if you're one of the massive Red Bull Ring crowd, then tough luck.
DTM - Red Bull Ring: Wickens drives into the pits, and into the garage. End of the day for him.
DTM - Red Bull Ring: Wickens has now been black-flagged for not serving his penalty. To be honest, along with Audi's Green blunder, this isn't the finest hour for team strategies...
DTM - Red Bull Ring: Farfus looked very undefensive there as Wittmann moved past into second place at Turn 3. But he then had to get pretty feisty to stop Glock following through. That looked like team tactics to protect BMW's series leader. When Wickens serves his penalty it'll be a Munich 1-2-3-4, with only Scheider's Audi in touch.
DTM - Red Bull Ring: Wickens has barged his way past Farfus into the lead at Turn 2, but HE'S got a drive-through now, for an unsafe release in the pits.
DTM - Red Bull Ring: And now he is third, as the orange Audi takes its drive-through. The crestfallen Monaco-based Broughton Astley man rejoins seventh, in front of Tambay.
DTM - Red Bull Ring: Wittmann has just passed Glock for what will become third into Turn 2.
DTM - Red Bull Ring: Green leads by just half a second, but he's been given a drive-through for pitting one lap too late, breaking the maximum time limit on the soft tyre.
DTM - Red Bull Ring: Ekstrom has now passed Paffett for 10th.
DTM - Red Bull Ring: Wehrlein has now pulled into his Merc garage to retire, so Vietoris and Paffett - the leading runners now on soft tyres - complete the top 10. They're half a minute down on the leaders so a safety car would be pretty handy for them...
DTM - Red Bull Ring: So, Green leads Farfus, Wickens, Glock, Wittmann, Tomczyk and Scheider. Wehrlein lost time somewhere and is now embroiled with Tambay in a battle for eighth.
DTM - Red Bull Ring: Replays show Glock having to brush the pit wall as Wickens was released during their pitstop race.
DTM - Red Bull Ring: Green emerges in front!
DTM - Red Bull Ring: Now Green is in.
DTM - Red Bull Ring: Some panel bashing up to Turn 2 as Wickens bids to hold on from Farfus, who's on hot tyres. But the Brazilian gets it done at Turn 3.
DTM - Red Bull Ring: And six of them have dived into the pits en masse - with only Green staying out.
DTM - Red Bull Ring: Top seven now covered by 3.3 seconds - this is close!
DTM - Red Bull Ring: Glock now carving into Wickens's advantage, so he's still got a bright BMW in his mirrors, just a different one now.
DTM - Red Bull Ring: And Farfus has pitted, rejoining in ninth place - ahead of all the hard-tyred runners. They've been around 1.5s per lap slower for much of the race.
DTM - Red Bull Ring: And now so has Muller, promoting Vietoris, the leading hard-tyred runner, to the top 10. Mortara also penalised.
DTM - Red Bull Ring: Hand, Juncadella and Moscow winner Martin have all just taken drive-through penalties for yellow-flag infringements.
DTM - Red Bull Ring: Top eight now are covered by 4.3 seconds! Tambay is a distant ninth, with Muller on soft tyres creeping into the top 10.
DTM - Red Bull Ring: Replays show there was a bit of contact as Wickens brilliantly held on to his lead.
DTM - Red Bull Ring: Lap 14 now, so two laps until the pit window opens.
DTM - Red Bull Ring: And Glock and Wehrlein are closing in...
DTM - Red Bull Ring: Tambay is now ahead of Vietoris into ninth. Up front, Farfus continues to test Wickens's racecraft. He held on around the outside of the Brazilian at Turn 6 before claiming the inside for the next corner!
DTM - Red Bull Ring: Tambay, who started on softs, has now got into the top 10 by passing Spengler. The only hard-tyred car left to clear for the Frenchman now is that of Vietoris. Meanwhile, da Costa has parked his BMW on the grass out of Turn 3 with what looks like no drive.
DTM - Red Bull Ring: Wickens is now having to defend his lead.
DTM - Red Bull Ring: Farfus is now moving right onto Wickens's tail...
DTM - Red Bull Ring: As far as the other Brits are concerned, di Resta and Paffett are heading the tail-end group in 18th and 19th.
DTM - Red Bull Ring: A new fastest lap for Farfus as the BMW reduces the gap to the leading Mercedes to 1.2s.
