This weekend at the Lausitzring, Canadian Bruno Spengler endured a difficult race which ended with him narrowly crossing the finish line in seventh place, ahead of Audi driver Mattias Ekström.
The Swede tried everything he could to get passed the reigning champion, even a couple of bumps.
"Towards the end of the race, I had to fight hard for my position, (as Mattias) Ekström pushed me from behind a couple of times," Spengler is quoted saying by touringcartimes.com.
So he gave Ekström the finger to make his feelings clear, and was fined €1,000 for the gesture.
"Obviously I wasn't to happy about (Ekström's attitude), however, we talked about it after the race and as far as I am concerned, the matter is settled," Spengler added.
