Rallye Wrc Monte Carlo 2016

[Karukera]

Could it be true that JML's suspension could have been fixed and continue the rally...

BUT To play it safe they knew he hit spectator and 'retired' JML from the rally...?

If true wise move by VW staff to avoid public embarassment for them and ACM as a consequence.
Silence in footage is promoter's willing to keep the series as clean as possible in "general" public's eyes.
