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 w🐽ill remain with a mathematical chance of taking the 2003 crown on th꧑e Wales Rally GB in two weeks time, realistically this is now unlikely to say the least, especially given the form of his rivals.
