Perhaps you have not been following this from the start. In that case I recommend you to re-read the decision which says exactly what Tanak now repeated.
...

Which brings us back to square one.

Ogier in Sweden, Tanak and Neuville in Mexico all broke rules... and got penalized.

Just the penalties did not hurt them at all (in case of Tanak and...

Can't agree with that. If something is broken then fix it before it get's out of control.

In either case now 3 of the 4 teams misused this. So even more reason to stop it.

For once I can't agree with you on multiple points.

Loeb was surprising yes and hats off to him, but I won't say he had rally winning performance. Saturday morning he was clearly slower than Ogier...

Ogier:
""We are working on this to explain ourselves because it was not deliberate at all," he said."

That's impossible to prove. The fact that they moved it on the other hand is impossible to...

Have you read the decision?



So before PS (and therefore likely after first run and seeing what Neuville did). Ogier asked and was told that it was not ok.
... and then pushed it out (maybe...

Nah, here he actually had pace before the crash. No chance he is getting dropped before end of season. So plenty of rallies to prove himself.

I mostly didn't tbh. Most was about who was doing what tactics (in the broadcast as well). Reminds me of the "let someone else pass me to clean the road" tactics from Friday/Saturday of the past.
...

But that's the whole point. They mess up the TV show for promoter. So promoter sticks to their set schedule (showing rally winner), and does not show them.

Yep, and I suppose Neuville will do the same.
In Finland last year they gave penalties for that.

And he keeps on repeating it.... jeez. Loeb was 4s down on Latvala on first split and 4 in the end.

Julian Porter just lost it there. Loeb was slower than Latvala whole stage, not backing off on tarmac.

Yes,

Meeke can't hope to get good points without parts of wing imo. Not on the fast sections.

Loeb moving, which kinda means Mikkelsen will as well and that makes Meeke Sordo and Ogier start normally.

Neuville waiting

Could be promoter saw what was starting to happen (with Tanak) and fearing it will end in much longer power stage parked Greensmith to have any hope of matching TV schedules.

Greensmith is in Fiesta and Latvala in Toyota?

Probably. But this has nothing to do with Tanak. Ogier was the first one to do it and it was surprising. FIA should have changed rules at once but kinda relied on teams not doing it (too much). Ref....

Let's see what Sunninen does then. Might end with us waiting 30 mins.

That's what I meant. Now we see order out of regroup. Then there is TC right in front of stage.

Hold your horses, TC is before the stage no?

But the guy who was supposed to start behind Latvala (let's say it's Sunninen) will see that Latvala is not going into TC and will wait until he shows up cause the can take the penalties as well(max...

Was prbly damaged from laying on the side though. His front left side looked squeezed.

And then Sunninen does the same for example and he is on same spot again :D

Meeke (I think):
"“But after that event surely somebody could have come up with a simple regulation change to say that any late check-in for the powerstage would result in them losing any points if...
