The lead drivers clashed at the Hungaroring, but matters really came to a head in Austria. An early collision between them saw Bouchut pit for a new radiator. He and Riccitelli then allegedly nearly came to blows in the pit-lane, before they both returned to the track for the final stints. The Frenchman (many laps down) then apparently brake-tested the Italian, forcing a collision which punctured the RWS car's radiator and eliminated it from the race. <BR> <BR> Bouchut was fined US$1000.</FONT></TD></TR> </TABLE><BR> </CENTER> <BR><CENTER><font size="1" color="#808080" face="Tahoma">Copyright ©2000-©2023 TotalMotorSport</font></CENTER> </td> </tr> </table> </body>
