I'm sorry to say that action must be taken over Seb's failure to wear his helmet correctly. If the Stewards have not received a report on it yet, then it is time for Jari-Matti should be making a phonecall.
he's that good, they need to take note from this. It's a far superior service with him.Quote:

Who would you like to see?
Course there are plenty of other drivers, but he's definitely set the bar now. May be tempting to get a name like Loeb or Solberg, but I they aren't as good at insight, then it's a step back.Quote:

Tänak made it

Hello Jérémie! Yes we are in Rallye Monte-Carlo working with Kalle. They are doing a cracking job with Jonne!

This is how the #OpticRallyeForez cameras captured the spin that Ott Tanak and Martin Jarveoja were doing this morning on SS9.
After turning around and stepping inside, they punctured one of the tires of their Hyundai with a stone. #WRC

Rally Stewards appear to be the fining type this week.

Mads has been a great addition to the coverage; seemingly natural, bringing a wealth of knowledge of current cars, tech, etc Very much like Alex Brundle during the Spa/N24 coverage.....Quote:

Not sure how the forger still has a contract with the WRCQuote:

great
0 points again

So Tanak managed to reach service with flattyre,but organizer forced to retire?
Ott Tänak
@OttTanak
We are back in service, but unfortunately we have to retire the rally as we had two punctures and only one spare wheel. No restart possible on Sunday due to event rules.
Ok. Then. Ogier to get 5 min penalty would be kind of equal.Quote:

Equal to what? If Tänak retired it means the rubber didn't stay on the rim. That is automatic retirement per rules (if stewards don't pretend blindness like with Solberg in Hungary).Quote:

The rule was created to give everyone fair and straight conditions and to prevent safety incidents and troubles with local police. Before it was one big mess. Someone could finish (Loeb in Mexico), someone else was stopped by police (Mäkinen in Wales), some drove with co-drivers sitting in the side windows, on the bonnet etc. Now everyone knows, Tänak of course as well.Quote:

Still strange exclusion if you read the rule book: 20.1.5 On a road section that is a public road and at the start of a stage, a competition car may only beQuote:

Equal meaning some decision has to come for Ogier as well. If he gets out of it without penalty it´s NOT equal. See what I mean?Quote:

Contrasting morning for Wydaeghe: Lost in his notes, then a first scratch in the WRC
Sometimes it goes well - a first scratch in the WRC in SS10 - sometimes it goes less well - he got lost in his notes in SS9 -, but Thierry Neuville's co-driver is in the midst of learning.
"I'm pretty happy with our second special, but in today's first special I was not in a good pace, and that frustrates me," Martijn Wydaeghe admitted at WRC All Live. We are here to be efficient, and I want to be the best possible. And in the second part of this stage, there were a lot of corrections in my notes, and I got a little lost. I apologize to Thierry for that! C ' was better in the second special, and a scratch, it's always nice. This week, I'm living at 150 km / h. It's a big challenge for me, and I'm learning a lot every day. "

and rules came when they drove without any wheel or supsension mounted or hanging. That´s why "rotating" is written I reccon.Quote:
