Applause and praise: how WTCC rivals reacted to Ehrlacher’s first victory
Yann Ehrlacher was applauded and praised by his rivals following his maiden FIA World Touring Car Championship victory.
Attending his first post-race WTCC press conference, Ehrlacher was clapped by drivers and members of the media before answering his first question.
"It's an amazing feeling to share this press conference with a driver like Tiago [Monteiro] and all the other drivers," Ehrlacher said in response. "I watched their race since I'm born so to share a press conference with them is just an amazing feeling."
Monteiro said: "Well done to Yann. We saw him with his uncle [Yvan Muller] when he was just a young boy and now a few years later he's here winning races so well done to him."
Mehdi Bennani said: "He did a very good race so congratulations to him for his victory, which I think will not be the first, he will have more."
Thed Björk added: "Congratulations to Yann for his first race in the WTCC. I remember my feeling from China when I won the Opening Race, it was fantastic. You deserve it."
