Van der Linde defeated Mercedes’ Lucas Auer and Audi star Rene Rast in what turned out to be a three-way showdown to clinch BMW’s first drivers’ title in the DTM since 2016.

范德林德在一场三国演义中，击败了梅赛德斯车手卢卡斯·奥尔和奥迪明星热内·拉斯特，帮助宝马拿到了2016年后的首个DTM冠军。

Speaking in the post-race press conference, van der Linde was relieved to have finally achieved his childhood dream of winning a DTM title after a pressure-filled weekend at Hockenheim.

赛后的发布会上，范德林德坦言，霍根海姆的收官周末给了他巨大的压力，能够最终夺冠，实现儿时梦想，这让他如释重负。

“From Thursday on I couldn't really sleep every night, I had a lot of sleepless nights since last week,” he said.

“从礼拜四开始我就睡不着了，实际上，上礼拜就有几天失眠。”南非人说道。

“For me the best way to describe this right now is taking 300kg and taking it off my shoulders because I had so much pressure the whole weekend. 

“现在的我就像是卸下了原本扛在肩上的300公斤重担，真的，这整个礼拜，我的压力都太大了。”

"I'm just super, super happy for the team, extremely proud to finally win this championship. It's been a childhood dream of mine ever since I was four or five years old. 

“我为车队感到高兴，太棒了！最终夺冠真让人自豪。我从四五岁开始就梦想着这一刻了。”

“Coming from South Africa as a young boy it is extremely hard to really break through and really make it as a professional racing driver first of all and then be a champion. 

“作为一个南非来的孩子，要想在欧洲闯出名堂，成为职业车手，这已经很不容易了，更不要讲还要去争夺冠军。”

“So for me the first step was always to reach DTM and the next goal was naturally to be champion. To finally achieve this is, I don't even know how to say, f*****g unbelievable.” 

“对我来说，成为DTM车手是不变的第一步，后面自然会想去夺冠。现在这一天真的来了，我不知道怎么形容了，册那老卵！”
