To me getting stuck is sort of a part of Safari...in the old days you could get stuck in a river crossing or a mudhole for an hour, that's basically same as 10 minutes of penalty.
The difference then was you could get outside assistance and service at stage side and from your team helicopter. No-one ever retired just by getting stuck or a car breakage other than a blown engine.
Probably Neuville the next one as Hyundai will leave no matter what. Abiteboul already decided that, and he will have excuse now more than ever. Wonder what will bosses do when they will see that WEC...
