Hans-Jürgen Abt - Team principal Abt-Audi:
"This is a great burden coming off our shoulders. The team never gave up and really fought for it, so that this could be achieved. The pit stops were probably the best we have ever done. Perfect. We are aware of our responsibilities, our fans want victories. Today, we have scored one."
Norbert Haug - Vice President Mercedes-Benz Motorsport:
"An exciting race and a great DTM weekend. Christijan and Bernd performed excellently and were always fair. The HWA team finished with all four cars among the top-six. Gary Paffett, too, did a good job scoring one point with a last year's model. Congratulations to the Abt-Audi team and Laurent Aiello who is back among the championship contenders after today's victory. The event was certainly great fun for the crowd of 85,000 at the circuit this weekend and for the TV spectators as well."
Volker Strycek - Opel's motorsport director:
"It was a mega event, both because of the spectators and because of the TV-shots from night qualifying. One could wish that this will be extended even more. We at Opel are feeling convinced that our home is in the DTM and that we have helped creating this DTM."
