WRC news in brief: Sassari service

Story from www.wrc.com


  • The steering problem with Andreas Mikkelsen’s Polo R was traced to a broken ball-joint in the front suspension. Mikkelsen had a spare on board and has swapped it. Should be sorted now.


  • Jari-Matti Latvala on his stage one puncture. “Unfortunately sometimes it’s just the name of the game. I hit some stones but didn’t feel an impact especially. I think perhaps a stone hit the shoulder of the tyre, that’s the weakest point.”*


  • Robert Kubica's Citroen DS3 RRC is sporting rear-end damage. “It happened on SS3,” said the Pole. “I lost the rear on the approach to a corner, braking towards a bridge, I pulled the handbrake and we touched a hay bale with the rear. The car is okay.”*


  • Per-Gunnar Andersson on his SS1 puncture: “It was my mistake. I went wide and hit a rock. I only had one spare tyre so I had to take it easy from there.”
