Normally I would be against cancelling the stage, but that fog was extreme. There is a difference between mist and fog. Some of the onboards were ridiculous.

But in this case we can ask the question why they are organising the rally in winter when there is risk of snow and ice, when safety cars cannot go through?Quote:

I agree. I really enjoyed Monte with fog a few years ago, but this was too much at night.Quote:

✱ Time for some astonishing context...
Oliver Solberg has delivered a commanding opening act at Rallye Monte-Carlo. After day one, he sits atop the leaderboard with a formidable 44.2-second advantage - a margin that borders on extraordinary by modern standards.
For perspective, the leading margin at the end of day one over the past decade has rarely approached such territory: 2.0 seconds in 2025, 15.1 in 2024, 6.0 in 2023, 6.7 in 2022, 3.3 in 2021, 19.1 in 2020, 2.2 in 2019, 17.3 in 2018, and 7.8 in 2017.
In an event renowned for punishing unpredictability, Solberg has not merely taken control - he has redefined the opening pace.
