Oh dear. At first it really didn´t seem that hard hit, to me ...

Tänak again having same issue as in sweden?

windscreen full of fluids again

That team radio at the end of the stages is one of the most amazing inventions in Motorsport broadcasting history….

Worst SS ever?

Ah Evans interview was brilliant to watch. First a genuine answer and then when she asked a generic question he went back into standard memorized answers.

These roads with the smooth tarmac and long corners are completely exposing the relative qualities of each of the chassis, and the Toyota is miles ahead, the whole car just works as one.
When I heard Millener on the commentary trying to half blame the drivers for the speed of the car, I knew they were doomed because that’s just deflecting what is blatantly obvious to anyone watching with half a clue.

That's harsh & unfair on M-Sport. Disconnecting the FARB was only done for this very specific situation at Canarias for the surface & new hard-compound Hankook tyre. M-Sport were trying something radical to get the missing grip. The commentary said they wouldn't be surprised if others did this too. And we know Hyundai tried every possible adjustment to try to fix their car here.

Neuville puncture... disaster.
