HWA AG wins the teams’ title for Mercedes

Mercedes AMG also had reasons to celebrate on Sunday at Hockenheim. After Pascal Wehrlein securing the Drivers’ title on Saturday, the final race of the season confirmed the teams’ crown for HWA AG.

It was the gooix/Original Teile pair at HWA AG, formed by Wehrlein and Christian Vietoris, the final champion among the teams. The formation had led the table since Norisring, but both BMW Team RMG and Audi Sport Team Abt Sportsline had options right until the end.

HWA AG won the title with 225 points, 19 ahead of Team RMG and 24 more than Abt Sportsline. Ulrich Fritz, Head of DTM for Mercedes AMG, had words of praise for his men: “I want to congratulate everybody in the team. It has been a difficult year, with many ups and downs, but they have done a great job and is good to have taken the title this year.”

Mercedes AMG has thus won two of the three titles on offer this year: drivers’ with Pascal Wehrlein and teams’ with HWA AG.
