Bruno Spengler hit with Zandvoort grid penalty

By

BMW’s Bruno Spengler will be hit with a two-place grid penalty for the next DTM round at Zandvoort.

The reigning champion was issued the penalty by the stewards after the race at Oschersleben, which saw him tangle with compatriot, Mercedes’ Robert Wickens.

Spengler was found to be at fault for the incident, which saw Wickens retire on lap 37.

Spengler retired his Schnitzer run BMW in the pits three laps later on lap 40.

The result marked Spengler’s third non-score in succession.
