    After watching the onboard i would disagree.
    This was full send, including some little moments like getting slightly off the road and not just clipping but throwing some haybales around.
    Once more an impressive run by him, especially in this situation. Balls of steel he has.

    Wasn't as bad as it sounded. Note that it happened because first car on road (Greensmith I think), changed a wheel and Solberg drove right behind him. Anyway it was two guys making a mistake (maybe some marshall too?).

    The Solberg big Sunday moment was much worse. 20+ people almost getting mowed down while standing in a "marked" safe area.

    No - it happened because they were walking down the stage when nobody should be allowed to. Simple.

    Every normal rally spectator is using stopwatch or clock to know when the next car is coming and knows that the cars have 3 min gaps so this is as inexcusable as it can be.

    Soldberg was driving not 3 min but 30 seconds behind previous car. Organizer send marshalls immedietly.

    This. I can somewhat understand walking away from the stage after the WRC2 cars have gone, but doing it while the top cars are still going is just weird.

    On "the hat topic", from Tänak in Facebook:
    "In the meantime, we will try to keep our hats on and see you soon in Finland."

    You don´t need stopwatch.

    Maybe best is to pop out your earplugs and just listen to next car coming. Especially at the end of stages you never can rely on anythning but your ears and eyes.
