Ott Tanak opens up on the range of issues with his M-Sport Ford Puma that dented his charge to overhaul WRC RallyCroatia leader Elfyn Evans 👇
The 2019 world rally champion produced an impressive push at the start of the afternoon loop, resulting in the 2023 Rally Sweden winner cuttingTanak initially reported in stage 15 that he had suffered an issue with his handbrake which left the Estonian frustrated as it allowed Evans to ultimately extend his lead to 25.4s heading into Sunday,
Speaking in the service park at the ned of the day, Tanak explained that he was battling a transmission and hydraulic problem, the latter he thought was connected to the handbrake issue. M-Sport is trying to ascertain the cause. “It seems like it is actually quite many different things but what exactly, it is difficult to say,” said Tanak. “First we had a transmission [issue] and a hydraulic problem, probably with the handbrake, but it was not really hampering really the last stage, and we had some chassis things.
“I wasn’t really happy with my afternoon to be honest and probably the worst I have felt through the weekend to this point, especially that first long stage after service, I could get any confidence," Evans told Motorsport.com. “It is only a spin or a puncture or whatever, it is nothing, so we still have to get on with the job and still drive at the same pace.”
