Maro Engel and Lucas Auer threw down the gauntlet to their Sprint Cup rivals in Sunday’s second race at Brands Hatch with an assured victory aboard the #48 Winward Racing Mercedes-AMG.
The defending drivers’ champions won from pole, though it proved to be another close contest in which the gap at the front never extended beyond two seconds.
Indeed, it demonstrated the intense level of competition in Sprint this season, with three different crews on the overall podium in each race and seven brands finishing among the top 10.
