If you look to the WRC+ full onboard, you can clearly see the spectator on the bonnet. If Latvala couldn't see him, surely his codriver could!Quote:

Hope Matton will give even more chances to Meeke and Hyundai can turn the i20 more competitive (and Neuville happily integrated in the team!). We need them to give Ogier a fight; otherwise it’ll be another boring season...
For sure Skoda won't be bored this season, fighting Evans and MSport in WRC2, with Suninen, Kremer, Bonato, Suarez and many others around! It'll be nice to watch.
The same in WRC3. Veiby was on his own at MC, but guys like Berfa, Andolfi, Koci, De Tommaso and others will probably make his job difficult.
Hopefully, Rossetti will be one of them! The Italian managed to win Clio Cup (2nd in MC after Burri Jr, but 1st overall on season cup results) and will make 6 WRC events with Renault Sport.

Where did you find that? There is no SS11 from Latvala on there as far as i can see.Quote:

According to Ewrc, Maurice Brera/Alain Pierre Forestier are a swiss crew with some national experience but only one previous MC attempt (they retired ’15 rally at SS1!). With their little Fiat they made bright times (close to Koci, Cima and others with more competitive cars) until an off at SS13. After they were less fast, but still managed to get into Monaco on a pretty good 42nd place!

These amateur’s teams should have more attention from WRC promoters (following ASO/Dakar example)!
Yesterday it was online and I can confirm that it was clearly visibly that the spectator was hit - no doubt. despite the mud and steam.Quote:

It is normal that they are not giving all interesting onboards to WRC+. But I didnt expected they will be deleting onboards which were published before...Quote:

No, the camera was this time centered with full view over the full width of the bonnet.Quote:

so You saw the spectator, so did we from fan videos from outside. Why should we all trust Latvala/Antila have seen him too?Quote:

yes I read it, thanks. There are lot of arguments one of which is the steam/mud visibility, there is also Latvala's statement he didn't see much and was looking to get back on the road. That one I'm discussing, why the stewards consider this as evidence, if only the one You mention is enough. There is lot of uncertainty about this. But no need to discuss it indeed, just mention it to consider evidence of something which can't be considered as such.Quote:

Than several fines for not pushing some button when retiring (for example Tempestini or Trivino). 1000 Euro for not pushing a button is quite a lot...
Also like during Barum several fines for missing barcodes on tyres of low-budget teams.
Getting better and betterQuote:

Noticed that neither the standard WRC English commentary or the MotorsTV one mentioned Latvala hitting the spectator at all...
MotorsTV said after the suspension damage was 'pulled out by the team'...
Same thing with l'Equipe21 TV footage who's in charge in France.Quote:

If true wise move by VW staff to avoid public embarassment for them and ACM as a consequence.Quote:

Buongiorno a tutti, vorrei scrivere brevemente cosa accaduto ieri sera alle verifiche post gara Montecarlo.
premetto che , ma questo non vuole assolutamente giustificare nulla, il vincitore della gara e poi del trofeo non è stato verificato...che durante un riordino in gara abbiamo subito un controllo delle presenza piombatura turbo ed al nostro avversario no in quanto non riusciva ad aprire cofano per la presenza dei fari supplementari ( noi per aprire li abbiamo sganciati) ...nel post gara la nostra Clio è stata verificata in molte componenti : autobloccante completo, collettore scarico, catalizzatore, mozzi posteriori, pinze freno, dischi freno, barra stabilizzatrice, prova pallina turbo , tutti trovati conformi. Infine inizia l'incubo....smontaggio completo turbina. Qui dopo tutta una serie di misure è stata trovata non conforme una lavorazione sulla parte interna chiocciola parte fredda ( restrittore conforme!) relativa ad una revisione turbo pre gara che con pur le tolleranze del caso risultava essere 0,7 mm in eccesso sulle misure in fiche. È' stato compreso da parte dei tecnici FIA che la lavorazione non portasse nessun beneficio evidente, anzi, ma la difformità dal pezzo omologato ha portato alla decisione dell' esclusione dell'auto senza penalizzare ll concorrente, che si limita a guidare e bene ciò che gli viene affidato.
In questo caso la responsabilità è tutta del team, io in primis, che avrebbe dovuto controllare meglio i propri fornitori.
Ora il rammarico più grande a livello personale e sportivo è aver fatto perdere a Luca Rossetti ed Eleonora Mori una grande opportunità.
L' amarezza più grande da quando abbiamo iniziato questa avventura che si chiama Dp Autosport non mi permette oggi di pensare a cosa ci riserverà il futuro.
Voglio però ringraziare e scusarmi allo stesso tempo con le persone che ci hanno permesso di andare a giocarci la finale di Montecarlo : Guglielmo Giacomello, Michele Sassano, Danilo Colombini e PromoSportRacing, Exasat, Autofficina Ceriani, RG .
Grazie e scusate ancora.
Alessandro Pedrocchi
