    It's kind of funny that of all the shenanigans and highly dubious practices that have occurred on road sections over the years, this non-event is the one that got people outraged!
    Not the same though. If John Doe wants to risk his own life by standing in a dangerous position on a stage, then so be it. Survival of the fittest.
    If a rally driver speeds, drifts, do whatever on a road section, causing an incident that injures, or even kill someone on their way home from shopping groceries, that's something completely different.

    That wouldn't happen here, and have not happened either. However, were do you draw the line on what rules that are ok to break, and what rules you cannot break.

    And of course, there will be a difference in what's actually allowed depending on what country you are driving in.

    Agree with you that Ott shouldn't drive on this particular place like he drove but when I looked to this way more dangerous driving on this video, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vtsMe_X35XI , I'm just wondering why this didn't bring up the safety discussion like we are having now. Because he is multiple World Champion or?

    Nono.. it was a really-really dangerous situation.. I bet that if Latvala finished 2nd and Tanak 3rd, then many FIN fans wouldn't be so b**theart about it..

    I see neutral steering on a snowy/icy road.
    The safest way through.

    Obviously Ott Tanak is a threat to some.

    You can talk that it’s safe, just for fun, Ott is a pro, car is set up for this… etc etc etc. But you know this is all bullshit! It’s just bad example, any rally driver should not do this. It does no good to our beloved sport.

    can you see how close he passes the kids?? opening door while driving on narrow streets? and driving in the middle of road so that other cars have to stop?

    From some of the comments I read, it seems it's completely acceptable to kill one guy just because others have killed thousands in the past and got away with it.

    Bad doesn't become good only because there's worse in the world, you know?!?!

    And this isn't anything against Tanak in particular, it's against breaking the rules on public road. So all of them should be penalized, not only him.
    Viola ad oltranza...
