He finished nearly two minutes behind the lead Toyota on Rally Estonia and Ott Tanak's home event just got a little worse as he was fined for a breach of WRC podium cap rules. Full story:
Tanak initially defended his actions in a stewards hearing before video and photographic evidence was provided to contradict his statement.
The stewards' report read: “A hearing was held on Sunday 17th July 2022 at 1800, in the presence of driver“The driver stated that during the podium after the powerstage, he had removed the cap only after the champagne spray because the cap was totally wet and the outside temperature was low. “After further investigations, the stewards held a second hearing on Sunday 17th July 2022 at 1940 with Mr Pablo Marcos.
“This evidence clearly showed that Mr Tanak was not wearing the cap neither before the champagne spray nor after it on both podiums and that his statement made in the first hearing was not correct.
