Not at fault for the incident, Martin would still wait to allow Neumann to resume the lead. This would allow David Ronnefalk to join the battle but two corners later with the three cars covering the same piece of track Martin would land on the rear wing of the Swede’s HB causing it roll but again the British ace waited.
