Tanak:
We had three stages today and each was run twice. One of them was a massive 50km long. Unfortunately, we struggled a lot during the both loop.
On today's first loop, we weren't able to push to the maximum as the road conditions were difficult and I couldn’t find the right feeling with the car.
On the second loop of the stages, we immediately got some alarms on the dashboard when we started to SS5. We had to face different electrical issues that caused the loss of power in the engine and we also lost the hybrid system.
On today's last stage SS7, the water pump stopped working due to these electrical troubles and we were really considering to park up the car, but luckily it came back to alive and we were able to finish the day.
Despite the issues we had to face today, we will keep going and we know that Sardinia is full of surprises, so nothing is over before the rally is finished. We go and fight for what’s possible! 💪

World Rally Championship drivers have called for a change to the regulation which forces competitors to select tires the night before they’re used.

NEWS FROM THE SERVICE PARK

A statement from his M-Sport Ford team said: Whilst repairing Pierre-Louis’ car after the accident on SS7 yesterday, more damage was discovered than anticipated. The team has therefore made the difficult decision to retire the car from the event.
