Nope he spun in the same rut but before the parts in the road.

Normally there is no chance. The last stage is very short.

Lappi has retired due to mechanical issues.

Broken radiator from his accident most likely.

No it's maximum 7 point scoring entries and Chile is his 7th.
He is actually entered in CER but outside of points.

Anyway Danny had correct point calculations (I switched Pajari and Solberg points), so it does make some sense to try to push. But if he crashes it's basically over.

I will be surprised if we see him in Hyundai again tbh.

It was reported that after the crash-disaster end of last year it was only Abitebouls support that kept him in the team against Hyundai leadership wishes.

This year the only good rally was Sweden with snowstorm-induced win. In the 3 fast gravel rallies he either didn't have pace (Latvia) or crashed again (Finland) or both (Chile).
Here while the first puncture was likely bad luck he soft-crashed twice (Saturday and Sunday).

Apart from the drivers they already have or Fourmaux, even Sesks looks like a better idea as a part time driver for fast gravel.

It won't happen, but if the result stay as they are, then I would send Latvala home.. after his whining after Greece that everything is over with manus title and no way to catch Hyundai anymore..

At the moment Toyota is closing the gap almost by half..


E: seems like I was late haha :D

haha i will never understand why latvala said that in Hellas. Three rounds to go, only 35 points behind
