Sat 11:15 - Tanak on his retirement
"Just came here and nothing happens. We cannot fire it up. Something electrical. No (indication). Five days ago we stop and start and nothing like this happened. There is no need to control everything now. It is back to the fight now in Wales. Difficult to fight for a championship if we have issues like that....!"
Sat 11:04 - Kaj Lindstrom on Ott Tanak's retirement
"The engineers were talking with Ott on the phone. We believe it is ECU-related or some wiring issue but when we get the car back we will know more. At the moment it is a disappointment that it happened."
I know Tidemand is first on the road, but doesn´t his car slide to much after corners? Maybe he should try softer suspension at rear?
Edit: Maybe it was Latvala flying-mode...that made me think?
five kms not five days
Latvala said he drove like Vatanen; "very spectacular...!"
Amazing drive and fantastic time by Mikkelsen!!
So reasons for top guys failure is: no 4 min gap on SS8 (Neuville), and bad electrical Japanese gizmos (Tanak) ... :( :)
