Audi continues to dominate proceedings in the free practice sessions. On Sunday morning, there was a quartet of drivers from the Ingolstadt-based brand up front with René Rast (1m35.802s), Jamie Green (1m35.854s), Nico Müller (1m35.947s) and Mike Rockenfeller (1m36.001s).
Classified fifth, Lucas Auer (1m36.412s) ended up as the best-placed Mercedes-AMG driver, followed by Audi drivers Mattias Ekström (1m36.438s) and Loïc Duval (1m36.441s). Maxime Martin was the best-placed BMW driver in twelfth place.
“That wasn’t too bad, and it is another good team result as well. Unfortunately, we weren’t able to use the new tyres, because there was a lot of traffic and therefore we are lacking a little bit of experience. That is a pity, but all in all, it was very good,” René Rast commented after his first place.
The starting grid positions for the sixth race of the season will be determined during qualifying from 12.00 hrs. ONE will be broadcasting live from Budapest from 11.55 hrs.
