Fk pirellis
I can’t believe this
But will still take the lead i suppose
Lol at Pirelli. Fucking hilarious
Saw the snow spraying up, should've realised it was a tyre going.
The gap would have been like 8 seconds
But I must say Ott was very lucky where it happened, if it would have been fast corner he would be out
Pretty bad moment to get a delaminated tyre, quite dangerous.
Ogier and Ostberg must be laughing
Have to say this stage was pretty tense, I honestly hope they won’t extend the contract beyond 2024 with Pirelli.
What is the opinion of tomorrows main stage(s) SS16/17 - are the straights long enough for a Hyundai power advantage to help Breen ?
Huttunen stopped
Solberg super quick on this stage or Rally1s taking it easy?
I think he was doubly unlucky as it happened literally as he was about to hit the brake pedal.Quote:

Commentators really have no clue, it's the engine according to them...Quote:

Weather could play a part also. Up to +6 degreesQuote:

He put the new tires on the rear then? Or did he cross them?Quote:

I think finnish cmore analytics gave the answer:
Jari Ketomaa said that Pirelli's studs are installed when the melted rubber is casted so the studs won't get off.
Riku Tahko said that normally when the studs go off you know the tyre is not good anymore and you need to slow down cause no grip.
When you think about those two analyses you get the answer.
The studs don't get off since they are casted and the driwers won't slow down so the the tyre just gets too much stress to the lamination
so that peels off.
EDIT: I'm not an engineer so this can be way off the truth.
Anyway this is somekind of an explanation. Thanks!Quote:

I wouldn’t surprised if we see more on the final stage.
Everybody is just out of tires already and having very used ones
yes thats right,but always pirellis studs were installed at casting,and michelins after casting.Its not a new method,so something else is the reason.Quote:

Okay it seems actually Tänak had the new tyre at the front which exploded
he said he carries an issue.Quote:

I'm no rally driver but its obvious. Front tyres will take most of the beating. But who knows, could have been crossed also.Quote:

He said that he lost one good tire and needed to use "slick" on the last one.Quote:
