The #1 BMW had an accident with a lapped car at the Karussell.
See this vid:
They had to change the front bodywork of the car. And because the BMW had to drive out of the Karussel in the wrong direction they also got a 3 minutes stop-and-go penalty. So without the accident they might have won the race.
