Audi's Timo Scheider took pole position in the Italian round of the DTM series on the Mugello circuit today and demonstrated once again that Audi is still on top of its game. But for once, since the beginning of the season, Mercedes showed some pace and put some of its drivers among the leaders.
Green became the first driver to put a Mercedes on the front row this season with his best lap, while Tom Kristensen and Mattias Ekstrom complete the second row.
Paul di Resta ended up fifth just ahead of Bruno Spengler who had set the fastest time in the morning practice.
