The fact is that we are talking about a sport where you drive a car on the limit for 3 days and 300 kms in real roads with obstacles, dangers and quick decisions to be made all the time.
At WRC level it take a huge amount of effort to gain one second in a km and nothing to lose everything.
You are continuously on the edge of the edge between success and failure.
Unless you reach the level of a legend like Loeb or Ogier, it only takes a little variable to change everything and turn you from a potential WDC to help Desbourough to comment the Power Stage...

Now that both Ogier and Lukyanuk have been hit by FIAs idiocy, I must ask, what's the point?
They have done nothing to gain performance and they have done nothing that impedes safety, so why the incredibly harsh punishments?
Do they seriously believe that this is some form of deterrent from breaking the rules? Any well established rules system should have some leverage for things like these. The FIA seem determined to ruin the sport at their own economic gain.

I don't agree that they received incredibly harsh punishment. If it happened to anyone of not such big name he would be immediately excluded.
In fact many many crews were excluded for much more trivial things than this before.Stupid is as stupid does. Forrest Gump

How is the punishment incredibly harsh? If I understood correctly, they'll lose the points only if they'll repeat the same infringment over the course of the season, which is extremely unlikely to happen. The fine means close to nothing for Ogier, maybe a bit more for Lukyanuk. In Ogier's case, he went close to being forcibly excluded, and I'm sure he's very glad the penalty consists only in this.

Autosport runs the story too: https://www.autosport.com/wrc/news/1...r-safari-rally
Open road stages to be replaced with closed SS. But I'll take that, happy if an African rally returns to the calendar.
