inches. Would have been a horrific smash as, like I say, Hvaal was properly on it.
Henning had at least half a lap off race pace (where he obviously knew the car was broken) to pull off, but he carried on then left the car in the middle of the track when there was a grass verge of the racing line to pull off on (and its downhill there, so he could have rolled onto the grass if his engine was the problem).
I personally think he stopped there to try and force a restart. Petter did a questionable bit of parking in one of the Heats yesterday as well, though that may have been a genuine car fault. As for Henning his actions were either stupid or unsportsmanlike
and stupid!
