Still early but yeah its getting worse with every rally

[Tauri_J]

Sonething wrong with the car? Lots of understeer

[EstWRC]

A puncture for Tänak and a power issue with the engine after that

[Lead]

And the puncture fest begins.

To me Safari looks like a sprint rally compared to what it was back in the day. Things change, I know, but the feeling is kind of divided. Safari should be much harder than this start, with cars having same speed as Finland or Estonia...
I know the rally just started and drivers caring of their rallycar might be crucial for surviving anyway. But...

Agreed. The last two stages today before midday service were like Finland or Estonia but with softer and more sandy surface

Too fast and easy for such a rally IMO.

Demotivated Tanak, team that can not make car working from start to finish, some lack of luck....nice story for M-Sport business. Lets suggest them to turn their attention to making Fiesta Rally 2 Great Again ( MFGA), that makes more sense.

You joking, right?

Why he should be joking? With what is happening in WRC during last years and they are correcting times for almost everything, this is appropriate question (correction time for stopping at zebras).

Tanak should just take a break for the rest of the season and next year go to Toyota or Hyundai. MS is a joke and will never again be able to compete for rally1.

Sticking through this season will just burn him out. I think he'd get more enjoyment out of driving a couple of wrc2 and ERC rounds

Disagree.
All teams have their things. MS are for sure working hard. And will succeed again in the future. It´s a teamwork.
Tanak also will have his wins. Maybe also with MS.
