Audi Sport Team Phoenix's Mike Rockenfeller revealed an unusual tyre strategy helped him to second place in the Sunday DTM finale at Hockenheim, but also stopped him from catching fellow Audi Nico Müller in the heavy rain.

Audi Sport Team Abt Sportsline's Nico Müller believes that the confident Sunday victory in the wet at Hockenheim makes up for losing the title at the Nürburgring, and has given the team momentum to challenge for the title in 2020.

Audi's René Rast took another DTM victory after a late race battle with BMW's Marco Wittmann in the Saturday race at Hockenheim. The 2019 champion was able to repass fellow two-time champion within the final ten laps.
