An electrical system shutdown has resulted in Ott Tanak retiring from Rally Sardinia, which the M-Sport World Rally Championship team has labelled as “difficult to swallow”.Tanak’s Ford Puma initially ground to a halt after running through a water splash in sight of the finish on stage 10. The 2019 world champion lost 20 seconds as the car stalled, although he was able to engage EV mode briefly to finish the stage.
Tanak was sitting in sixth position and would have likely climbed to fifth had he continued as Toyota’sTanak attempted to fix the problem in a road section but was unable to revive the car. “Clearly we got some water in the engine and we somehow did some damage to the electrical components as well. Basically we blacked out and we had no electric power.
"It is hard. The retirement of Pierre-Louis was unexpected and difficult to get over but sometimes these things happen,” M-Sport team principal Rich Millener told Autosport.
