After rally the evidences that Llarena had puncture on last stage come out, but stewards did not change his time and penalized only Franceschi and Torn in result. There is lot of question marks:
1. Why they looked only on Franceschi stage time and changed it
2. Why they add him 1 minute? If they add more then Torn would have won the title
3. Why they did not penalized Llarena for driving on puncture? There is gps evidence that Erik Cais was faster 12 sec on the spl,it than Llarena who had puncture and would have lost more for sure. Be aware that before the stage Cais had only 5.6 sec drop to Llarena and he will win the rally, what resulted again in Torn winning champion title.

FIA ERC should be equal to all competitors what means that or they are giving the same time to everybody or panalized each single driver if had a problem on canceled stage.

This is how Champion title is stolen due to not fair play game.”
Things like this has happened before. In WRC too, with Ogier on a punkture before red flag.
It is all about what you can or have proof of.

1. Franceschi is or have been overtaken by the car that started behind him, before red flag. With proof.
2. The proof is has been overtaken, nut he could be going one behind him. That make the minute.
3. Now proof of Llaren have a punkture before red flag.
When he saw the red flag, he new the chapionship was over, he maybe lost his conesentration and then got the punkture. WHAT DO WE NOW.

My humble opinoin.
You can not call that stolen, you do not now enough.
