Liam Lawson Dominates The Double Header in Spielberg | Driving DTM

New Zealander crowns perfect weekend with two race wins at Red Bull Ring.
Liam Lawson backed up his triumph on Saturday with victory in the second race of the DTM weekend at the Red Bull Ring in Austria, making it a perfect home outing for the Red Bull AlphaTauri AF Corse team. Here's all you need to know:
The New Zealander scored 55 of a maximum 56 points in Spielberg and, in doing so, he took a big step towards the top of the DTM standings.
After claiming pole and a win on Saturday, Lawson narrowly missed pole for the second race of the weekend; however, second place in qualifying in the #30 Ferrari 488 GT3 Evo 2020 with the Red Bull livery still earned him an excellent starting position and a further two points in the Drivers' Championship.
From the start it was a tight race with Germany’s Marco Wittmann, but the race win eventually fell the way of Lawson courtesy of a perfect pit stop from the Red Bull AlphaTauri AF Corse crew, which put the young New Zealander at the head of the field.
Despite carrying an extra 25 kilograms of success ballast due to his victory in race 1, Lawson crossed the line first after 38 laps of racing.
Lawson is now second in the 2021 Drivers' Championship with 135 points.
One day after finishing fourth in Saturday’s race, luck deserted Alex Albon on Sunday – a puncture resulted in the Thai driver dropping down the field, but even so, Red Bull AlphaTauri AF Corse extended its lead in the Team competition.
As a result the Thai driver of the #23 AlphaTauri Ferrari 488 GT3 Evo 2020 dropped down the field and eventually came home 17th.
Albon now lies sixth in the Drivers' Championship with 94 points.
In the Team competition, Red Bull AlphaTauri AF Corse has 229 points, leading their nearest rival by 21 points.
The DTM season returns to action from September 17-19 with its sixth race weekend at Assen, Netherlands.
