Yeah, I guess it was obvious he did it intentionally.

One minute penalty!?
Actually, a loss of one place which is achieved by one minute one second time penalty.
Bit of a bummer. A drop of 1 place but a 1 min (and .01...) penalty. Will Nawerecki appeal?
A harsh decision.
And the spectator standing somewhere stupid earlier is hardly a driver's fault.
Meh, that will be an easy VW 1-2-3 now then.
This is a silly situation, I think this will start backfiring soon, the same as all the penalties did in F1 and now they just dont impose them.
Is there a video of this cut?
It's on the poor man's WRC.com on the SS 7-10 video highlights as well @ 0.50 secs.
It was quite obvious, he did it on live television broadcast. I was watching it live on WRC+ and immediately wondered if that would be allowed. It was not a very smart move i must say, and he didn't gain anything with it. Rules are there to be folowed tough, so i understand the decision, alltough i find it bad for this rally, no more opposants for VW now.
