Spa curse once again for Team ABBA on lap 6 😞. An ‘off’ by the no.9 McLaren delivered an enormous cloud residue across the track momentarily blinded Richard Neary at Blanchimont. Fearing the possibility of ‘harpooning’ a stricken car Richard lifted off the throttle and in doing so lost the back end, unbalancing the car resulting in the no.8 car hitting the wall. Although he managed to limp the car back to the pits, too much damage, including a hit by the no.86 Honda on turn 1 in lap 1 at the start of the race, led to a very early retirement for the Team. Absolutely gutted for both drivers with Sam Neary yet again unable to do one lap in the race. It will be a long drive home tonight 🫤. Thanks as always Team for such a sterling effort with the car and also to Laurie Southern Photo for capturing the moments this weekend 👍
