Rally Wrc Monte Carlo 2017

I have a hard time deciding if Hanninen's crash was unlucky or if he went in too fast.

too fast. but if I see it correctly, he blocked the wheels under braking and went straight into the tree. perhaps he could have avoided it if he had stopped braking, like most other drivers.

I'd call JML lucky too. His stage times were so so and somehow he finished 2nd. So good drive without mistakes, but lucky end result.

yet, he's only 2:15 slower than ogier. if you look at times from other years, that's not unusually much for monte carlo.
