    Sorry, but I think you are marking words.

    On the whole Martin didn´t want to tell what he knew. Bcs of negotiations etz, etz. Call it arrogance if you want. I call it "journalists will get to know when we have a deal"

    Tomi Tuominen is an ex-co-driver who is now the main host of YLE's rallying television. He also now has a rally podcast and in the first episode he interviewed Marcus Grönholm. They talked about how rallying has evolved with technology, and one side comment came from Tuominen himself about driving Sardegna last year. He said that Tänak wants to have pictures in advance from the route as much as possible, to see what the conditions are, and this was only in a gravel rally, where they could spot possible bad stones or other hazards. Tuominen said he was included in a WhatsApp group where the pictures were sent.

    EDIT: I listened to this bit again and it's actually Grönholm who says that "Tänak wants photos from the route all the time" and then Tuominnen tells about the WhatsApp group, not specifying it's Tänak who wants them.

    I heard a story about a weather crew guy that had to run 4km i think it was in Likenäs to check a stone after 1st run in a fast combination with compression after the rallycross track, demanding to work for this Tänak

    Dirtfish made a short clip about Tänak’s lake incident. To this day, I get shivers when thinking back to it...

    I still remember that incident clearly. Such a roller-coaster of emotions. Tänak was suddenly lost, no-one knew what was the situation. Next car came in, I think it was Paddon, Colin at the stage asked did you see Tänak? Answer is no. How one can just disappear?

    For some reason this episode was not available later in wrc podcasts, but for me the hardest moment was when Colin reacted to someones message, "oh, boy...", it was clear message that something is really bad and this topic was stopped for some time. In this moment you start thinking... again? (for estonians - Märtin and Park 2005 GB).

    Luckily soon some good news came in, but those minutes on that time were looooooooong to wait.

    Later those "after stories" of course made things more spicy, like Raigo Mõlder was swimming legend in hand and later nursed it in Hotel. In some interview he said, he didn't take it on purpose with him to rescue it, he just "forgot it to hand" as automatic reaction.

    Cherry on the cake was M-Sport car rebuild and recovery. All other teams were standing and checking the progress till late hours and M-Sport got round applause when car engine started. Even now, 5 years later, it's emotional to write about it....

    Your memory is correct Hayden was next car on road. I remember it quite clearly. Hayden was slightly baffled by Colin's question. Another strong memory is the professionalism of both Becs Williams and Colin Clark given the situation that was unfolding live on air.
