[edit] WD??

What does it mean "WD". It appears to Lance Macklin and Stirling Moss at the Swiss Grand Prix. Thanks!! --Godfroid 10:33, 25 September 2007 (UTC)

It means "withdrew" or "withdrawn", i.e. when a driver retired from a race voluntarily, rather than due to a mechanical failure or an accident. In this particular case, Collins and Abecassis (both driving HWMs) had suffered similar mechanical failures, so the HWM team manager called in Macklin and Moss as a precautionary measure.

Ok! Thanks a lot. I didn't understood the abbreviation. --Godfroid 15:21, 25 September 2007 (UTC)
