[WRC] 91e Rallye Automobile Monte-Carlo (16-22 January 2023)

[Danny0405]

Well, Gryazin was on the podium I suppose and congratulated as the winner in the afternoon before the decision so it changes nothing in terms of PR, clearly not that point that could have had an impact on the judgement (and the claim was made later in the afternoon as evoked in the summary and probably wouldn’t have been made if the gap was bigger at the end of the rally).

Personally, I think the stewards had no other choice than accepting the request considering what happened in Ypres (all the more than the defender in Monte was the protester in Ypres if we think in terms of team).
Well, Toksport have paid to learn that when you open that type of dirty move (even if they were maybe pushed by Mikkelsen), it can backlash on you.
But the game is totally faked because if Gryazin had taken the penalty earlier in the rally (Saturday by night or Sunday in the morning), he would probably have pushed further on the last stages and I think he would have won.

Toksport have begun the dirty game, Citroen has taken its vengeance; let’s hope now that they will agree to stop this dumb game.
