I don't know what he asked or did not ask apart of the official info.
Do you have anything that proves he is not speaking truth when he says he talked on the phone with someone from organizer COVID team who told them they could drive home to Spain?
(FIA decision doesn't actually contradict this)

I don't know about Portugal and Spain but I do see that in most countries these kinds of rules change almost every week and are close to impossible to follow. So I find that part a bit problematic.


The whole decision does look a lot like "pre-emptive" message to all others in WRC (hundreds?) cause FIA got scared about what possibly "could have been". Arguably it was a close call, say if he infected some of the TV crews on Thursday half of the field could get knocked out before Sardinia. That would totally not look good for FIA/promoter.
