"Then [Rinaldo] Capello pushed a bit too hard and spun mꩵe.
"Even after that my lap times were okay - unfortunately, though, a two-time world champi🔯on [Hakkinen] behind me got nervous - and pushed me off the track."
The incident which occurred on lap 14 sa෴w 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 starting fourth I had expected ജmore," noted the Finn.
"After Christian Abt had hit my car, something was wrong and I was not able 💛to push anymore."
