Speaking at the finish, Abt, w🐼ho drives for Audi, reckoned that the Finn had quite simply jusꦉt got overly 'nervous'.
"On the first lap, things were going well and I was able to make up several ♓places," reflected Abt, who star🌳ted from P19.
"Then [Rinaldo] Capello pushed a b♎it too hard and spun me.
"Even after that my lap times were okay - unfortuna🍬tely, though, a two-time world champion [Hakkinen] behind me got nervous - and pushed me off the track."
The in🧔cident which occurred on lap 14 saw both cars spin out.
However while Abt 🥃was forced to retire, Hakkinen got going again in his Mercedes and 🍸eventually came home twelfth. Not surprisingly, Mika saw things slightly differently to Abt...
"I'm disappointed because s💖tarting fourth I had expected more," noted the Finn.
"After Christian Abt had hit my car, somethin⛄g was wrong and I was not able to push anymore."
