Remember the big amount of punctures in Monza 2020 with Michelin? No one gave a shit. Yet a month or two later at the 2021 Monte everybody jumped on Pirelli when a similar amount of punctures happened. Sometimes people are looking to hard for a scapegoat and Pirelli is an easy target as the majority of motorsport fans (let alone the common public) still don't understand the Pirelli-F1 situation and think Pirelli is just bad.
On commentary they kept saying that the tyre had been 'knocked off the rim' as the reason for the punctures.
If true, the rim would get damaged by driving on in this state and then look broken by the end of the stage..
But it had not broken first and caused the puncture.
Give your head a wobble; I have read it.Quote:

you have read it,but you keep saying that is pirellis fault that first day we had 8 cracked rims out of 8 punctures .Quote:

Can someone confirm this please?
In power stage, even though 1st five drivers get the points 5-4-3-2-1, for manu points, only first 5 registered cars get the points, so thus Greensmith got the final point for Ford, even though he finished Power Stage in 7th, but 5th of the manu-registered cars.
Am I correct here? Cos no other way to explain that extra point for Ford at Rally Croatia!
if i remember correctly yes, manu and drivers ps point are different.Quote:
