How much of your own money would you place on that happening though ? Not much I bet.
Neuville deserved some consideration in this situation. Swapping postitions for points is one thing, but taking a victory off a driver is another... and especially one without a win for nearly a year.Last edited by Fast Eddie WRC; 17th September 2022 at 15:10.

It isn't like taking away Neuville's first victory..
But let that be.
They gave Toyota extra 5 points on PS. Both Neuville and Sordo were driving at bicycle speed there..

2022 WRC News & Rumours
No difference in manu points.
The thing about Acropolis 2022 situation was that the whole rally win was in question. Not even Adamo or Ogier at M-Sport demanded wins to be given away, just low positions, super rally tactical penalties or sacrificing one single point for power stage performance. We remember giving wins from Lancia team of the 80’s but when was the last time it happened in WRC? Kankkunen gave two wins to Sainz in 1997 (Greece and Indonesia).

Top of my mind: Australia 2011, Spain 2009, Acropolis 2000 and probably a few more...

How about Turkey 2019? Before Sunday Ogier and Lappi were even and Lappi just beat Ogier by 4s after a small mistake on stage before.
Immediatelly on first stage Lappi posted worst stage result of the weekend until that point and both him and Ogier started to talk about taking it safe and saving tires for PS (Ogier).
Was pretty much understood as team orders. Sure it is not giving away a clear win, but it is as close as you get.

I don't remember it that way. Lappi made a small mistake at a hairpin on SS12 and Ogier got past him. Lappi was still faster on SS13 and they were separated by only 0.2s at the end of Saturday. At that point, it has been just sensible to "hold positions", not like Lappi was asked to give Ogier a win.

Interesting news about Ogier; he cut short his WEC programme to spend more time with the family...And now does the rest of the WRC season.
Is there a better sound than that of Porsche engined Flat-6 ???
