I would say his results are consistent but not his speed. On some stages he is at the front but others he is way off. I don't know what the problem is, clearly he and the car are capable of it.

I still think he is a valuable addition to the ERC but I would like to see him fight for the championship on speed and not just reliability.

Lukyanuk says that he didn't expect this win. I guess he thought that the Italians would be faster:

Yep, rules are needed but they must be applied sensibly. In any democratic state, warnings, fines and suspended penalties are used on the legal system; shouldn’t the FIA be equally tolerant?

Amen. Running on a tight budget and a rally to rally basis probably doesn’t allow him to risk a bit more.

Man, let's not start in this way. It has nothing to do with democracy. Every legal system has given range of penalties for most of the infringments and no, for most of them You don't get any warning or fine first.

We can discuss if such rule is need and if it's sensible to change it or cancel. But there is no point saying that Gago suffered some damage from wrong FIA decision. No, he suffered from his own mistake and the FIA gave him lesser penalty than what is written in the rules. They could have been stricter if they wanted.

PS what does it mean sensibly? It's forbidden to enter two event at the same time without withdrawing or excusing self from one of them and there is clearly given penalty for that. There is no ambiguity, no freedom in explanation of such rule and nothing to bend there.

But his times were often quite slow and he was fortunate not to have any punctures like others.

I think it was Munnings and Wagner who had the materials stolen.

Yes, it was Catie and Simon.

The reason for this FIA rule is that entering one event & then not turning up because you have entered another event is a breach of contract in civil law. If you look at the rules of any ASN that adopts the FIA code you should find that this is also a national rule. It has been a national rule in the UK for as long as I can remember & that's about 45 years.

The ES commentator said Kreim.

They must've heard him constantly complaining about lack of confidence in the pacenotes and thought his own were stolen...
