Imo FIA is way too tolerant of this. There are many blatant examples last few years. Ogier in Poland 2017 with 190 on LiveMaps (he also took a roundabout the wrong way on purpose and only got a fine), Hanninen Finland 2017+++

"I got technical problem and have to catch up..."
Technical problem is part of the rally, if driving at legal speeds would result in penalty and they make it up by speeding they should give them the same penalty anyway. With the tracker it should be simple check.

If this videos show him driving to start of the stage, then FIA have to disqualify him for rest of the year. This is insane!
To much cars and people to be at stage.

F..king hell, FIA have to do something!
A fine is to piss on everything and everyone in this sport!

Just a bit of perspective:

In Estonia it's pretty common to arrest speeding foreigners and send them out of the country after the serving with an entry ban. But since it was FIA, not local police, Thierry got lucky:
One example of a russia who was doing 161 in 90 kmph zone

I see now 2 kind of reactions: from Greece (south) it's nothing and from Norway (north) you have to ban him almost forever :D It couldn't be more apart as you can see.

I'm personally OK what FIA decided and just let it go.

`people who say speeding by one of the best drivers in the entire world is dangerous should try and become men, being a crying woman is ok, but being a man is better.`

“When the grip is quite constant, we can manage quite well, but we do struggle with some issues on the new car where I have to be honest and say that I probably have done some mistakes on the development of the car and I can feel that now,” he said.

“I could feel it already in Portugal to be honest, so I think we just have to try to understand and probably turn our heads around to sort this as quickly as possible.”

Asked what area of the car was troubling him, Østberg said: “On the differential side, so I struggle a lot when the grip is changing.

“I try to drive as fast as I can all the time, and to me I’m driving to the limit of the car all the time, and when we have grip we are faster than anyone, and on other stages when it’s changing around, for sure we are losing a lot of time. Much more than normal. And it feels the same to me.

I almost got lost in the article.

So:
- the car difs are badly developed
- the brake pipes get ruptured all the time
- the calipers? cause the brakes to suddenly stop working

On top of that he said he had intercom issues and broken front suspension on SS5.

I mean it surely is possible he had all those issues. But one has to wonder why he has a ton of issues on basically every WRC rally he does.

Here in Estonia the puncture on SS6 was from mowing down a concrete anti-cut (3:52 onboard), the second one on SS15 I am not sure, there are some hard hits between 4 and 4:20, but maybe I missed something.
