I'll wait for the official reason but this reason for engine failure sounds like made up and quite funnyQuote:

Lucky to be brilliant? He did not best time because of luck, he got it because he drives well. 2nd nonsense in 2 pages.Quote:

I don't know, the car is quite smashed and he will have a big penalty. Their streak might be in danger. Not sure if Tanak can rejoin.Quote:

He just does not drive well but it's actual and factual brilliance in any aspects you look at thingsQuote:

How long will Ott bother, before quitting?
And how long will Loubet keep his job?
Lucky with stage conditions and with his rivals having problems.
Interesting how people always call champions lucky, same was said of Loeb and Ogier before. I think they make their own luck.Quote:

The irony would be if he crashed out, and then the points situation would stay (pretty much) the same.Quote:

So end of the season for Tänak? Two blown engines...
They can get new car (chassy). That means new engines AS wellQuote:

In top10 overall there are 7 Finnish crews
So apparantely a heavy impact caused the engine failure
I think Toyota would survive this
Poor Rich didn't even get to finish his interview
Saw that on live and prayed that it didnt knock tyre off the rim but in the end it was even worse outcomeQuote:

And like in Estonia, nothing to be happy about here, really sad for all related ones.
Cmon they have bigger impacts when landing on the big jumps
Never would have thought that this one will impact the engine.
My main question is - did they put back the same engine which failed in Estonia?
I know this is a bit off topic and not that it wasn’t difficult/impossible beforehand but I think it’s safe to say it’s game over for Hyundai in the manufacturers’ championship, even an extra event wouldn’t have helped them at this point.
The trend is like that, but the rally is not finished yet.Quote:

True but it seems Toyota has (once again) got their upper hand on Hyundai this year, 6 wins to 1, tells you everything.Quote:

Is it only me or the all-live stream has quite many hick-ups?
Cyril knows Who they need. I hope now with proper management they can bring Ott back. Thierry just lacks that final piece in an championship puzzle.Quote:
