Is the wheel already off at that point or is that the exact point at which he hits the "rock". That picture is too small for me to see anything. Just because someone photoshops an arrow on it doesn't mean anything.

Looks like he is about eight inches inside the line there, at this point. Wouldn't doubt that this exact point is where he hits said rock but I need a better picture than that.

Will Seb catch them on the first loop?

Most likely 80,5 km ss. 0,3 sec per km.

I think it is not rock at all, but the beginning of a sidewalk

From that picture, at that exact point, it does indeed look like a sidewalk/driveway. I am guessing the rock was earlier and he got sucked into the driveway. Need video evidence.

All reports and talks of this incident are wrong. The wheel drops down in an aqueduct going under the road, to the full extent of the suspension. You can see if looking more closely at the video.

Not saying it's any better than hitting a rock. Maybe it's been cut out more by cars, but it's still the same story, Petter cut's more and gets hurt more. Odd he doesn't realize and change his style.

Where I can see the video?

I don't understand this then: "...At the end of a day of chaos, there were no more dramas on Salou, but there was one pre-stage, with Sebastien Ogier - who was poised to move into sixth overall - stopping his Volkswagen Motorsport Skoda Fabia on the road section after Terra Alta."

EDIT: Ahh, there is mistake for 6th & 7th positions here - http://www.vysledky-rally.cz/vysledky/?rz=253&filtr=
