And Suinen was driving like that, and a few corners from winning the stage. Small margins. But it's hardly a surpise Suninen crashes in Monte - he has done for numerous years.
Perhaps Formaux would have been a better choice here.

I wonder who pays the repair bills in this situation. If it's M-Sport this is where taking pay drivers looks like not such a good idea.
