Hyundai WRC driver Sordo says his peculiar roll during Friday's running of Rally Sardinia looked 'more serious than it was'.
Dani Sordo says his Rally Sardinia roll looked much"more serious than it was" in an eventful Monte Lerno stage that also saw Kalle Rovanpera encounter a herd of cows.The Hyundai driver was struggling for grip before going off the road less than two kilometres from the end of the extended 49.9km stage, introduced for the 20th anniversary of the Italian World Rally Championship event.
"It was so difficult with the hard tyres and the car was so difficult to drive with the grip and I just braked a little bit late in one right corner before a left corner and I went a little bit out wide," said Sordo. The world champion, facing the disadvantage of starting first on the road, attempted to avoid the cows but clipped one before running into a ditch to avoid the others.
