In an ideal world yes. But I would say when the rally is moving it's nearly impossible to do this. Plus when you have a street stage in a big city coming up and all the planning that goes into that - you can't afford to be delaying that kind of event.Quote:

For sure this is only "provisional" time...Quote:

That's completely impossible for many reasons. Are You aware of that? Besides that it solves exactly nothing unless the problem wchich stops the stage happens in few hundred meters of it without any follwong crew already started. Even then it's not ideal as the tyres of the stopped crews get cold. Anyway it's theoretical debate as nobody is going to keep a stage on hold for one hour (don't know how in WRC but in our national championship it's even forbidden for safety reasons).Quote:

Very difficult solution for these cases.
One way or another, Ogier is lucky Meeke is not out of sight. I'm sure Meeke would've gone faster than sordo on that stage considering how well he's been driving today. He wouldve at least matched it

No, but it was a P1 car that went off and the P1 cars were affected. So scrap all stage times, because it will be terrible for publicity if the top cars are penalised when helping a crew potentially trouble.Quote:
