The Canadian crossed the line in 4th place, scoring five points. "I am obviously disappointed because our goal was to win the race or at least to finish on the podium", he said. "I had a great fight with Martin Tomczyk. It was fair, but hard. The other cars are very quick and our team must continue to work very hard to improve the C-Class. On the other hand, I'm happy to have scored 5 championship points. In recent years, I was always leaving Hockenheim without a single point, so that's a big improvement."

So I'm off to Frankfurt in a few minutes. I will be again driving on the mighty German highways and get passed at speeds like 200 kph by the BMWs, Mercedes and Audis...My little rental Yaris is not that quick! I am flying back to Montreal tomorrow morning and I'll be back in the Auto123.com offices on Tuesday morning. Thanks for having read this daily column. Danke!
