Two other 250F's, s/n 2522 of Dick Waaijenberg and s/n 2526 of Peter Heuberger had to retire. The former
because the engine ran a main bearing, the latter because of missing a shift that had the Swiss owner ending
up in the gravel trap. On lap number five, Carlo Vögele in his Alfa Romeo 158 Alfetta tried to take the six year
older Alfa of Robert Fink at the Bus Stop chicane, but Vögele left his breaking too late and spun on the still wet
tarmac into the wall, damaging his suspension. This would even prevent the Swiss driver for starting in the
second Grid A race on the following day. |

heavily modified F40 and F512 M "Testarossa". |
