You have seen it here. Everybody knew (and it was loudly discussed) that the new Pirelli tyres are more prone to punctures, yet still Tänak decided to gamble and took only one spare risking a retirement if things go wrong - and they did.
That is a sort of the transition pain. People keep having their mind set from the previous period and ignoring clearly visible warning signs. That's something natural to man kind but what applies as well, is that people always addapt quickly.Stupid is as stupid does. Forrest Gump

Did anyone get a puncture that was not with the winter tire?
That was quite normal for Michelin also though"Die with memories, not with dreams" Scott McIsaac

A quick word on rallying in general and Hyundai's performance compared to Toyota?
“The Yaris were clearly faster. We tried everything, but except in a stage where I drove really well, they were always ahead. It was a tough weekend for Hyundai. We were never really in. We are therefore not very happy and we will have to try to understand why during the debriefing with the team. "

There was a huge difference in the cars even for an eye of the TV spectator and I am sure you saw that too. The Toyotas were like go karts while the Hyundais were very stable and clean but also somewhat clumsy. They almost looked like having 200 kg more.
To be honest Hyundais looked like I expected the current WRC generation to look on asphalt when they were first introduced - strong and powerful but dull. Toyota is something different - for me as a amateur I would not expected a car looking so wild and playful to be faster...Stupid is as stupid does. Forrest Gump

Sordo had a few very good stage times, twice second and twice third. But sometimes he was just off the pace, with no relation to the conditions. Sordo was also told to back off once Tänak retired.
Katsuta was also once fourth and twice fifth, but was often on Greensmith pace level and made a few small mistakes.

We have vegans who need to state everywhere that they are vegans.
We have no Sanders (meme) sitting in every picture.
.. and now we have Mirek who need to write often "but Tänak made wrong tyre choice!"
get over it, Tänak rerired, rally is over, life goes on. Breath.
