After some other event I would understand this a bit better, but now after he was beaten on the last stage with equal starting position, it is really sore looser whining. Sure he could argue, that he would have been way ahead before that with other position, but how exiting would that be then? Besides, from 1960 to beginning of 2000, it was allways the fastest starting first and nobody complained before Burns and Sainz started in Australia first and then it just became an infection. Sure, the rallies were longer back then and timedifferences bigger, but still.
The regulations have also created this "problem". The aerodynamics and other things that create ridicolous amount of grip favour those running on clean road. So like I have said before, wings to minimum, suspension travel limit and less grip from tyres and so many "problems" would dissappear.
