10:35 hrs. Audi PR has issued an official statement regarding the exit of the left rear wheel of the No.2 R10 TDI: “The wheel nut was not loose due to a pit problem. What caused the rear wheel to leave the car can only be analysed after the race, when the Audi Sport technicians are able to examine the car. Dindo Capello was in the middle of his second stint, and had already driven for 54 minutes on the same set of tyres. This would exclude the suggestion of a mistake at the pit-stop”.
