That's right Mirek, but great drive by Andreas

Road development can do a lot. If it just about starts to melt but not yet enough to go full slush you get a 0,5-1cm layer of slush on top of harder snow/ice. With shorts studs you don't go down to ice and have no grip.

Stock studded tires in Scandinavia have similar stud length and every one driving here has experienced this.

Setup can also do a lot, first stage was tarmac and hard ice.

Note that Ogier and Neuville have exactly same time over the 2 stages combined.

Solberg was waiting for snow all rally long, but not on pace in this one.

Left front puncture from the very start of SS10, same corner as @AdrienFourmaux
we think... big shame on the only snowy stage, hoped for a good time on that one
Face with rolling eyes
lost almost a minute, but we go back to service now and reset!

Thats a shame. Was looking forward for his first stage win.

seems like the punctured wheel is getting worse.. keep falling behind on the map..

Cause without the puncture he would automatically win the stage, based on?

Cut the hype, let him drive and learn, he is doing ok.

The insight from Ostberg has been superb. They need rot get him signed up.
in car cameras have been dreadful - esp the Toyotas.
