Nicki Thiim is fuming after a brutal DTM race in Oschersleben, starting 18th and finishing 12th — costing him the championship lead. He’s blaming the Balance of Performance rules, arguing he’s being punished for winning, especially after his Norisring victories. He sarcastically suggests quitting might force them to give him more power or lighten his car, pointing to how other drivers’ threats to walk away somehow got them better treatment. Despite a minor setup tweak post-qualifying, he couldn’t claw back ground, finishing third overall — and his car was carrying 20 kilos of extra weight he blames on his own success. Frustrated but still smiling, he’s singing songs and preparing for the next race — but the anger’s clearly simmering.
