🗣 'At the moment, it really is a joke' SebOgier is not happy with Pirelli's OfficialWRC tyres following another puncture in Rally Japan. Story:
The eight-time world champion suffered a puncture while leading a WRC event for the third time this season in Japan, which effectively ended any hopes of adding to the win he secured in Spain last month.
"It is the usual story and maybe one day we will start to talk about the really shit job Pirelli is doing and maybe something will change, but at the moment really it a a joke what they are doing, it is just a lottery.” “Sometimes I talk about it with the wrong words because of my emotion and I have to apologise for that, but it is a real problem and it is not acceptable,” he added.“Everyone here is working very hard to make the best and this part of the championship, it is shame that we are forced to use someone that is not doing it at the level they should be.
Ogier admits the problem is not isolated to tarmac tyres but understands that in extreme rallies such in Kenya any supplier would be susceptible to punctures. Autosport’s sister publication motorsport.com Italy, has obtained a picture of Ogier's damaged tyre from Stage 2. Following the conclusion of the rally, Pirelli declared its 2022 tyres had “consistently ensured reliability and impact resistance”, this year, but did reveal it is planning to fine tune an evolution of its gravel and asphalt tyres for next year.
