    Credits for Meeke trying to make room for him to overtake. It was actually the Yaris which moved to the right, quite possibly due to the snow bank push back, but anyway unfair to blame Meeke for anything.

    Well, just a bad situation where no one is to blame...or both equally.
    Looks like the road is getting narrower on the right side, and that it was not room to pass there. Meeke can not get further to the right. It is hard to see if Tanaks car is in a straight line, and where on his car he hits the Citroen.

    Looks like an racing incident.

    You can hear/see from the onboard Ott is accelerating pretty hard about 10sec before Martin says something....
    I think he slowdown cuz he don't know what will be road ahead, drive by his eyes and wait when Martin could find right page in pacenotes.

    He didn't apologize, but he pleaded guilty himself in that accident in interview at final night regroup

    Storm in a tea cup should become the slogan of this season based on the first two rounds.
    Never stop dreaming because one day it might happen.

    Meeke - Tanak - racing incident. One tried to leave space for overtaking(road was to narrow, so not enough room left), another took a chance - and not succeeded... so basic racing incident, but I can see that matter will be dragged for at least 10 pages with loads of insults...

    Actually both have calmed down, analysed the situation and said that it was just bad luck with both sides responsible. No need to go any further.

    Actually I was just thinking that almost everyone made a mistake. It's just that the deep(and not too hard) snowbanks let them get away with it. (Alternatively you can say that they make mistakes cause they risk more because of snowbanks)

    To list from top
    Neuville - spin SS10
    Breen -into a bank SS8
    Mikkelsen - spin SS10
    Paddon - spin SS16
    Østberg - nothing
    Lappi - snowbank SS6
    Latvala - nothing just very wide with timeloss on SS10
    Sunninen - spin and snowbank SS10 and SS11
    Tanak - crashout with Meeke
    Ogier - spin SS7
    Evans - at least 3? spins
