WRC 2019 Britanya WRC: Tanak rahat kazandı, şampiyonluğa yaklaştı!

2019 Britanya Rallisi'nde zafer Toyota sürücüsü Ott Tanak'ın oldu.

Türkiye Rallisi'nden hayal kırıklığıyla ayrılan Ott Tanak, Britanya Rallisi'nde güçlü bir geri dönüş yapmayı başardı ve rallinin henüz başında aldığı liderliği bir daha bırakmayarak 2019 WRC sezonundaki yedinci zaferini elde etti.

Toyota sürücüsü, 21 normal etabın altısını kazanırken, hafta sonunun son etabı olan Güç Etabı'nı da kazandı ve hafta sonundan maksimum puanla ayrıldı.

Tanak bu sonuçla 2019 Dünya Ralli Şampiyonası'nı kazanmak için önemli bir adım daha atmış oldu.

Thierry Neuville, Sebastien Ogier'den aldığı ikinciliğin ardından pazar günü zorlamaya devam etti ve Tanak'ın her zaman en yakın takipçisi oldu.

Yine de ortaya koyduğu bu performansa rağmen Tanak'ın 10.9 saniye gerisinde ikinci oldu. Belçikalı sürücü Güç Etabı'nı ise beşinci sırada bitirdi.

Türkiye Rallisi'ni kazanarak şampiyonada Tanak'la arasındaki puan farkını azaltan Ogier, Britanya'da yol tutuş problemleriyle boğuştu ve Neuville'in 12.9, Tanak'ın ise 23.8 saniye gerisinde üçüncü oldu.

Böylelikle podyumda üç farklı üreticiden üç farklı isim yer aldı.

Ralliye hızlı başlayan ve ilk iki gün lider konumunda yer alan Toyota sürücüsü Kris Meeke kendi evinde aynı tempoyu koruyamadı ve Tanak'ın 35.6 saniye gerisinde dördüncü oldu.

Britanyalı sürücü buna karşılık Toyota'ya şampiyonada önemli puanlar getirdi.

Sakatlıktan dönen M-Sport Ford pilotu Elfyn Evans, cumartesi ve pazar günleri ortaya koyduğu güçlü performansın ardından Hyundai pilotu Andreas Mikkelsen'i geride bırakmayı başardı ve ralliyi beşinci sırada noktaladı. Evans, Güç Etabı'nı dördüncü sırada bitirdi.

Hyundai sürücüsü Mikkelsen, genel olarak inişli çıkışlı bir ralli geçirdi ve Evans'ın 9.6 saniye gerisinde altıncı oldu.

M-Sport Ford sürücüsü Pontus Tidemand yedinci olurken, Craig Breen, Hyundai ile sekizinci sırada yer aldı.

Öte yandan Kalle Rovanpera WRC2 Pro sınıfında zafere ulaşırken, WRC2 sınıfında ralli efsanesi Petter Solberg zafere ulaşmayı başardı.

Jari Matti Latvala yaptığı kaza sonrası ralliye erken veda ederken, Esapekka Lappi son günkü etaplarda yer aldı ve Güç Etabı'nı üçüncü bitirip hafta sonunu puanla kapattı.

Sezonun bir sonraki rallisi 24 Ekim'de Katalonya'da yapılacak ve sezon 14 Aralık'taki Avustralya Rallisi ile son bulacak.
