"Then [Rinaldo] Capello pus🌄hed a bit ꩵtoo hard and spun me.
"Even after that my lap times were okay - unfortu🏅nately, though, a two-time world champion [Hakkinen] behind me got nervous - and pushed me off the track."
The incident which occurred on lap 14 s🐲aw both cars spin out.
However w🎃hile💯 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 more," noted 🦄the Finn.
"After Christian Abt had hit my car, something was wrong and I was not able to✅ push anymore."
