Trippel Audi, Peugeot får göra hemläxan bättre. Nån som vet vad som hände med Mansell?

At 15:17hrs Nigel Mansell driving the #5 Beechdean Mansell LMP1 Ginetta Zytek went off at the run into Indianapolis. He hit the Armco on both sides of the track before coming to rest. It seems he may have picked up a puncture, possibly when avoiding a slower car. This brought out the safety cars while the medical team were extricating Mansell and he was taken straight to the medical centre. We now hear that he is fine after receiving a bump on the head.

"Audi: 2010 was hardest Le Mans yet

By Stuart Codling and Matt Beer Sunday, June 13th 2010, 13:27 GMT


Audi's motorsport boss Dr Wolfgang Ullrich believes the firm's ninth Le Mans win this year was the toughest so far.

Peugeot looked like it had beaten Audi for a second straight year, but as the 908s all suffered failures, Audi's revised R15 TDI Plus came through to take a one-two-three, led by the #9 car of Mike Rockenfeller, Romain Dumas and Timo Bernhard.

"At the beginning it was a little unlucky for us, but at the end it worked out fine," said Ullrich. "It's a great reward for all the work everyone has done.

"I think this has to be the hardest Le Mans we've ever done."

Ullrich was congratulated by his Peugeot counterpart olivier Quesnel straight after the race, and he paid tribute to Audi's arch-rival and the camaraderie's between the two teams.

"I think that they know we have done a great job," said Ullrich. "In sport when someone wins, someone else loses, but when the loser comes and congratulates the winner it is very sporting. That is what we did last year and that's what Peugeot has done this year.

"It has been a fantastic battle. We've invited the Peugeot guys to a party tonight and we hope they will come."

Ja jevlar... Återigen är det bevisat att man inte behöver vara snabbast för att vinna! Samtliga (3) Audi R15 tog sig i mål i toppen på pallen, samtliga (4) Peugeot 908 bröt. Under försäsong, träning och kval var det Peugeot för hela slanten, men när det väl kom till kritan var det Audi som hade det bästa materialet. Stort grattis till Audi Motorsport!

Tackar, men "bump on the head"?
