I'm sure we will get them on both the next ones

Btw. they showed Sordos penalty from Friday and it certainly was much more warranted than Lappis.

The people at the stop line were there and I am quite sure they also did interviews, just not show them.

What makes you think so? I know that they did interview the drivers on Saturday night but that was because more WRC2 crews were still on the run so they had onboard material to fill the broadcast with

They are both TV stages and there's not enough WRC+WRC2 cars to fill an hour so we'll see some WRC3 as well, yes.

Formaux was still on track now since he was late out of service.

Has anything more been said about the Lappi tyre/weather situation yesterday, where he said he wasn't given any info about the snow by Msport?

WRC Monza: Neuville disqualified following a team error

The Belgian is not allowed to restart in SuperRally. Hyundai mentions engine problems ...

Thierry Neuville does not resume his journey as planned. Explanation of Andrea Adamo, director of Hyundai Motorsport: "We have found that there is more damage than expected to the engine after taking so much water and we do not want to risk sending the car into the mountains. . Either way, that would be stupid. We have nothing to gain from it. But we are staying in SuperRally with the opportunity to get Thierry to start again on Sunday to gain a few points. "

What he may not know at the time is that the management of his team made a big mistake. An error in reading or rather his knowledge of the rules. To be able to stay in SuperRally, you have to start the 2nd stage. And to take the start of the 2nd stage, the crew must be present (and not just the mechanics) and rush, with a maximum of thirty minutes late before disqualification.

However, everyone saw that the Hyundai was left alone for more than two hours this morning in the parc fermé. The Neuville-Gilsoul team therefore did not officially take the start of stage 2 and was logically excluded from the race this morning without the possibility of starting again this Sunday.

Rather than admit the error of his team, while everyone expected Thierry Neuville to resume the race this Sunday to increase his counter by a few points and especially to offer a few to his employer in case of 'abandonment of one of the two i20 WRCs of Dani Sordo or Ott Tanak, Andrea Adamo declared: "We have decided not to restart Thierry tomorrow because we have seen that the damage is too great and it would be stupid to take additional risks. "

Nonsense! To be nice, let's say the boss covers the author of the dumpling who will pray tonight that his fault does not cost them the title. Which is, fortunately for him, highly unlikely ...

No and he was very diplomatic about the whole afternoon loop later in the evening. Either it was also partly his fault, or he realized he has no contract next year.

Again for Finnish media he said quite directly that "the team had too little information and it got f-d up"

PS is mostly the same stage where Neuville stopped?
