Maximilian Günther (# 50) BMW iFE. 20, qualifying Result: 9th place, race result: Place, points: 0, driver rating: The Peril at the restart after the safety car section was confusing, and it was hectic. Stoffel Vandoorne has apparently decided at short notice to go to the Attack Zone. I touched him slightly and damaged my entrance. In addition, I was then already next to him, and there was in my view, actually no turning back. The action was unfortunate and I was hoping that it was okay. The race stewards saw it differently. I have to accept this decision. What remains once is the awareness that I drove a strong race and got Mosey to get on the podium. I will build on that later in the season. Congratulations to Alexander on the victory. That is also a huge success for the team. Many thanks to all who made this strong performance possible – both here at the track and at BMW in Munich. ”
