Red Bull reserve driver Alex Albon took victory in Race 2 of DTM at the Nurburgring on Sunday, after taking pole position for the race.

The 25-year-old started P1 and managed to keep himself out of trouble throughout a chaotic race around the Nurburgring, navigating two Safety Car periods, nine retirements and dominating from the start, while driving his AlphaTauri AF Corse Ferrari.

Albon made an excellent getaway, but the first Safety Car was not far behind after Lucas Auer and Maximilian Buhk collided, sending the latter careering towards the pit wall.

After retiring from Race 1 of the weekend, Albon kept his nose clean and led away from the restart and, by the time he had made a pit stop and emerged P9 on the road, a second Safety Car period took place and the eight cars in front had not yet pitted, putting him in a commanding position for the rest of the race.
