I’ve said it before and now again, it’s ridiculous to send a car half way round the world and retire it for a puncture. There has to be a better solution than that for teams, drivers, spectators etc.Quote:

In the case of someone like Sesks who is only there for experience it was pretty stupid to send him out with just one spare. Plus he couldn't really compete properly anyway in the non-hybrid version so an extra wheel was no issue. A real waste of a days rallying.
Didn't he had 2 spares but 3 flats?Quote:
