Heikki Kovalainen became the first retirement for two races on Sunday, as the Lotus retired on just the second lap of the British Grand Prix due to losing fourth gear. The Finn managed to return to his garage, as opposed to stopping on the circuit.
“Fourth gear,” Kovalainen told BBC Sport. “On the first lap I had a great start and made three or four places immediately. I then shifted down to fourth gear for the first time and it went to neutral, and it happened a few times. So it was game over.”
Several laps later, the second Lotus of Jarno Trulli also retired from the race.
