A no score today then is a big blow, especially as the 206 WRC driver had led the series' up until last weekend's event in Corsica. Although it seems likely he will remain with a mathematical chance of taking the 2003 crown on the Wales Rally GB in💯 t𝕴wo weeks time, realistically this is now unlikely to say the least, especially given the form of his rivals.
