[WRC] Rallye Monte Carlo 2021

[meh]

Blah, it's a bit "smartassing after", but can not really understand the need for gamble with this 5 tires (instead of safe 6), because there is no rally2 option available and no option for collect points from powerstage (or for manufacturer, if there will be another car forced to retire).

So Tanak managed to reach service with flattyre,but organizer forced to retire?

Ott Tänak
@OttTanak

We are back in service, but unfortunately we have to retire the rally as we had two punctures and only one spare wheel. No restart possible on Sunday due to event rules.

Ok. Then. Ogier to get 5 min penalty would be kind of equal.

I find that slightly ridiculous - he managed to get to service - but has to retire.....

Equal to what? If Tänak retired it means the rubber didn't stay on the rim. That is automatic retirement per rules (if stewards don't pretend blindness like with Solberg in Hungary).

Such has been the rule for at least a decade now. He's far from being the first one.

There was some rubber left, yes. https://pbs.twimg.com/media/EsaT72tW...jpg&name=small

Cause without the puncture he would automatically win the stage, based on?

Cut the hype, let him drive and learn, he is doing ok.

Automatically no, but his comments from yesterday (how he was waiting for snow) and after great pace in first morning's stage, he would go for it in snowy ss10. Stage conditions was good for him to show a great time.
Of course he is doing fine, not hyping him or anyone up, calm down.
