Late heartbreak for Tänak and TOYOTA GAZOO Racing
After a very strong performance throughout the weekend, #Toyota GAZOO #racing World #rally Team driver Ott Tänak was on course for his third straight victory on #rally Italia Sardegna when he was slowed in the very last stage by a steering issue. He ultimately finished in fifth position overall and ahead of his championship rivals on the gruelling gravel #Event, moving into the lead of the standings.
Tänak, his co-driver Martin Järveoja and the #Toyota Yaris #WRC had won every stage on Saturday as they moved into the #rally lead and built a 25.9-second advantage that they took into Sunday's final four stages. He maintained that advantage through the opening three stages before the steering problem on the rally-ending Power Stage, causing him to lose over two minutes.
Delayed by having to change a wheel on Saturday's final test, #krismeeke ended the #rally in eighth position overall. #jarimattilatvala, who restarted yesterday following a retirement on the opening day, finished fourth in the Power Stage. Juho Hänninen, driving a fourth Yaris #WRC entered privately by #tommimakinen #racing, continued to gather useful testing data in the opening three stages before returning to service.
