I thought he clipped something on the inside and it threw his car against the outer wall.

I saw the same to be honest... but who knows

If SebO can win Monza, he'll be in the same league with Juha..

Of course you are right, but in rally I think it’s normal to act as Evans did and warn oncoming cars of the danger if you have already gone off to try and prevent further incidents.

Yes but it was around two minutes after Gus got out of the car to Veiby's coming. Moreover Gus ended far behind the corner. To warn Veiby he would need to run some 100-200 meters on the stage against a blind corner right after getting out of the car. And from that blind corner Veiby could come any time. Not safe at all either.

6 minutes to Veiby, 3 to Taka

The people on Finnish TV broadcast said there's a new rule that you don't have to do the start-and-retire-at-first-tc anymore, you can just announce that "we will restart tomorrow". And they verified this rule from the Toyota team.

After my this year experience, I will never believe factory team or team from WRC that they know rules correctly...

This rally is brilliant in my eyes. More mountain stages and less monza stages and this is very welcome back in 2021 in my book. It's a hell of a lot more exciting than the sardegna event.

Same rally, same time next year would be fantastic.

It is covered by Art.54.1.1 of the WRC Sporting Code which says:

Unless stated differently in the rally supplementary regulations, a crew which has failed to complete a section may be assumed to re-start the rally from the start of the next section following the overnight regroup unless they confirm otherwise with the clerk of the course by completing of the form located in the rear of the road book (‘final retirement’) and lodging it with the organiser as soon as possible and, if feasible, before the publication of the re-start list.

I can't see anything in the supplementtary regulations for this rally or any of the bulletins to change the standard wording.
I believe the key part is:

a crew which has failed to complete a section may be assumed to re-start the rally from the start of the next section following the overnight regroup

As far as I'm concerned you can't "fail to complete a section" if you didn't start it. They should have got the crew to push the car through the first TC of day 2, got their start time for the day and then retired again if they wanted to run on day 3 and the car wasn't fixed.
