Till he tried to bank off the Porsche to make the turn.

He remembered from last year that he could use the side of a 911 instead of having grip and brakes. He just nosed it in a little too hard this year. It's all about the angles.

Speed interviewed D.Ullrich after the Audi left the pits. He would only say that it was an unexpected heat-related problem. Left front side only was changed.
