Lausitz 2004: Ekström wins after Paffett DSQ.

Monday, 7th June 2004

Audi's Mattias Ekström was declared the winner of the fourth round of the DTM, held at the Lausitzring on Sunday, after the original winner, Gary Paffett, was disqualified for a fuel irregularity.

Markus Winkelhock won the battle for year-old cars in his Original-Teile Mercedes CLK, having made a good start and avoided all incidents. The German was seventh after the first round of stops but, on lap eight, he was pushed into a spin by Dumbreck and eventually came home 14th.

Perhaps fittingly, Ekström and Albers now share the lead in the overall standings, on 34 points, while the disqualified Paffett remains third on 15. Alesi is fourth on twelve, and Tomczyk fifth on eleven.
