Could it be he was for example asked in Turkey to take it easy? Sure. He could have been asked before the rally, after first few stages or as late as saturday mid-day.
In Turkey he said before the rally even started that his strategy was to hold back and protect the car, and you might remember that it paid off with a podium. Thats not being slow, its intelligent driving.
10 things we learned from F1 2026 pre-season testing Week 2.
So what did we actually learn, once you strip away the sandbagging talk and focus on the themes that repeated themselves across the grid?...
I guess I'm moving more and more into the "none of that actually matter" camp. If Rally2s are the TopClass for 2027, it doesnt matter what other manufacturers, Msport, Toyota, Hyundai or constructors...
With Prospeed and Toyota there is the same number of manufacturers as 2011 with a new spec car. Same year allowed teams to run the manufacturers cars and the lower class cars. Same year the promoter...
Whose got money and interest to rally the world in Rally2? That's negative IMO.
