This is a huge failure of the organization and should be taken very seriously and investigated by the FIA, far more serious stuff than giving Lappi his 5 minutes back. Safety is the most important item in Motorsport. F.i. during Rally Wales last year a SS was cancelled / postponed while a marshall was in serious medical problems and that was a great and understandable decision.Quote:

An article about Bertelli's issue. The author had just spoken with the codriver via phone. It is in italian hope g translate will do a good job

Rich boy should learn its place in the WRC and most importantly the rules...
if he wanted the rally stopped he could have put the SOS sign up to the following driver... which he says he did in the written report but apparently the drivers after him are blind...
For sure they have to investigate and verify if the organizarion has done what Bertelli's team claim. I would not take a position before knowing what the organizers have to say about this. For sure if that is true it's a big shame.
They do not have to investigate anything...
It is very simple for a driver to stop a stage if he wants... Give your co-driver the SOS sign and wave it to the following car.
I don't know how the SOS sign should be used in details but I don't think the driver of the following car could do too much if what they needed was an ambulance.
There's no point debating that. The HQ must not refuse to send ambulance if the crew asks for that. There is no way to examine injured via phone. That's plain absurd. What if he suffered internal bleeding and died? Such things happen and I can name right now several particular cases only from rallying. There is enough time to investigate if sending the ambulance was justified after the event but not before they do that.
The SOS sign should be used when there is a reason to stop the stage and call for help... the following car stops and then drives to the next radio point where the organisers do what they have to do...
If Bertelli wanted the stage stopped he should have done this...
you do not use a nobody spectator as a doctor to speak with the organisers to stop the stage... and then cry like a kid. Its a serious sport and you go by the rules.
