The official explaination for the retirement was a blown head gasket on the engine. No word about the reason.
Dominik Kraihamer explained different problems on Eurosport Germany. He said the team has had problems with the engine installation causing water leaks. This was the reason why the Team only could run a couple of laps in the training and qualifying seasons and it was also the reason for the total rebuilt of the engine after the warm-up. The Team was not able to solve the problem and they already knew that they would not run very long in the LM race.
Hard to say what was the reason for the LM troubles as the car run trouble-free in Spa with the high compression of the car in Eau Rouge
Maybe Ollis mistake caused only a earlier retirement.
