"I really think it was one of the toughest I have done in GT2. I had to open the whole experience book I have gotten in touring cars the last couple of years. I knew the places where to overtake and I tried to cover myself so not to leave any room."
Müller's team-mate Dominik Farnbacher, who made the victory possibly by keeping the Porsches in touch and looking after the tyres in the early laps, was ecstatic with the result - his second career victory.
"At the start I just tried to stay out of trouble. I didn't try to risk anything. My goal was to stay with the pack. I knew we were going to double stint the tyres and that the Porsche would have to change them.
"I tried to get through the traffic well without any contact. I can't believe it yet. This is such an incredible feeling. I don't think I have realised it yet. It gives me self confidence."
Tafel's technical director Tony Dowe, the mastermind behind the race-winning strategy, explained that the decision not to change tyres had been made at the last race at St. Petersburg.
"That strategy to go without a tyre change was made about two weeks ago, almost straight after St. Petersburg. One of the things you do is play to your strengths and other people's weaknesses.
"When we didn't qualify on pole it was because it was part of a plan. I don't mean that in an arrogant way. We had to run those tyres to get the situation right in the race. Dominik is a credit.
"When I spoke on the phone a week ago with Dom, I said 'it is your turn to qualify' and he said 'no' that it should be Dirk. So, we decided to do the same driver plan that we did at St. Pete because it worked. We have drivers that haven't got their own agendas."
