In our spots ott was much more sideways than the others
It was an interesting battle, was not able to follow full-time this time and even forgot to make prediction. But, as a proper fan, I followed it even when visiting Vulcano :)

Really glad that there was some sunlight for Hyundai. I can recall just one stage end interview with Tänak, when he had hands shaking. Never seen this before, and I think it describes well the effort he put into this win. Just awesome!
The Italian version of Motorsport.com goes deeper into the matter:
"The problem has arisen since the tests. The Red Gray team (which puts the official Hyundai i20 Rally2 on the road) had replaced the original bumper with one that was not homologated already during the tests and was no longer changed in time for the race. The other Hyundai cars the team raced with Hyundai homologated bumpers, so it was a mere mistake.
This, however, represented only a mitigating factor that was not sufficient to avoid disqualification. The team and crew are in any case responsible for checking the car to make it compliant with the dictates of the sporting regulations.
We also remind you that Suninen will have the right to appeal against the decision of the race marshals. If this is the case, he will have to follow the dictates of article 15 of the FIA International Sporting Code."

Just like fourmaux in monte, lappi's car makes me wonder how bad these cars are when it comes to stopping foreign object. There seems to be very little in the way to protect the drivers against penetrations from outside.
Lappi: “It was pretty much okay [with the goggles on], there wasn’t too many flies luckily. When I saw there were ruts I backed off to make sure no rocks bounced into my face.”

So definitely unsafe driving without the windscreen ;)
Roof of Lappi "opened" in last stage. It was still attached when they started Power stage.
