Dont know how many spares Huttunen had, but he had a puncture after his roll. Maybe even multiple punctures...cant really tell from the pictures.

Jari Huttunen was interviewed by Krisse Sohlberg. Huttunen tells how his 2018 season was ruined by Sarrazin Motorsport who kept failing at simple things, parts were constantly too old. BRC Motorsport took over at the end of the year and it improved things but for 2019 BRC stopped all rallying completely. In 2019 Huttunen was expecting something to happen since he was having some WRC test drives. And he still hasn't understood why it ended. His only guess is Portugal 2019 when he had a bad rally and crashed out. In Finland when he lost to Katsuta in the WRC car, the team had said "if you make a scratch on the car or lose a bumper, you won't drive ever with us". Right now the support from the factory team is minimal, one engineer is working with them, but no fresh spare parts or engine mappings or anything.

What a poor guy! Nearly no support from Hyundai at all...
...and now also this - Kristian Sohlberg can't even spell his name correctly - Jari Huttusen?! Come on!

I said it multiple times before that Huttunen had his career basically destroyed by Hyundai and they keep continuing with that even though Adamo tried to sound different after Monza.
(If you recall in 2019 Hyundai also on purpose didn't let him drive WRC rally in WRC car to get around testing rules, even admitting that)
Winning that Hyundai talent competition in 2017? was actually really bad for him in many ways. Instead he could have been picked by Skoda or MSport...
Only hope is that the new Rally2 car is fast and maybe more importantly doesn't have engine/wastegate or other issues all the time.

WRC2: Good first loop from Suninen, and also Kristenson.
The two new Rally2 Hyundais are getting used to their new tool on asphalt.
Gryazin off road, but moving again after a while.
