Driver R May explained it had never been his intention to shift to a three wide position but his runner had hung outwards and attempted to follow NURBURGRING before he was able to restrain. He added that by this time his position in the two wide line had been taken by an inside runner shifting outwards so he had been left to race three wide. After reviewing the films, Stewards were satisfied with his explanation and took the matter no further.
