In a very fast and fairly deep left, we were thrown into the trajectory when we were in the rope, summarized Thierry Neuville at the microphone of Olivier Gaspard, the special envoy of the RTBF in Estonia. I tried to retrieve the car, but the rear went a bit wide, and obviously something was hidden in the grass. A stone, a tree stump ... We don't know! It damaged the suspension, and the rally was over for us. It is very expensive to pay, because until then, we managed perfectly and the car worked very well. It made us feel a little more comfortable than usual on this kind of terrain. We had the ambition to do well, we followed our objective, which was to keep Elfyn and Seb behind us, but we paid dearly for a small "mistake" which cost us a lot of points this weekend. We followed the tracks, we just got kicked out of the way. We hadn't put a wheel next to the road until then. We paid it cash. "
The Belgian driver will have three more rallies, in Turkey, Sardinia and Belgium, to try to catch up on his opponents in the fight for the world title. But the task now promises to be very complicated ...
"It is sure that the fight for the title will become much more complicated for us, with three races remaining to go, resumed the vice-world champion. But we must above all be positive and tell ourselves that there is a way to do great things there and take a lot of points. But like this weekend, we are never immune to a puncture, an error or a technical problem. be able to grab some big points and stay in the title fight until the last round. "
Even if anything can happen to his opponents by the end of the event, the Belgian vice-world champion will - in the best case - able to score five points in the Power Stage on Sunday.
"We are going to attack during the Power Stage, but with our position on the road and the conditions that we are likely to find tomorrow, it will not be easy. We will try to save our tires as much as possible because the loop will be long, just take a spare tire to be as light as possible, and attack. We'll see how many points we can get from here. "

@JonneHalttunen
Today we got 1min penalty from SS10 TC in - Start area. I took off the radiator blanking inside TC area, which is not allowed. Not more to say, we will drop two positions because of this. I feel really bad about it, but rules are rules. Fully my fault
Happy man raising one hand

Only silver lining to this dark cloud is that it wasn’t a perfect rally to start with, would have been cruel to lose the win because of that penalty...

After lying in the middle of the tree for most of the rally, it is probably a bit one-sided to look at it.

Nice recce video from Neuville
Yes I fear so too, you just need to look at the new cost for tourists to get into Venice and when everyone sees the amount of money being made others will soon follow, and prices will go up. As...
