Hyundai's Ott Tanak says he doesn't face extra pressure to bag a good result in home WRC round in Estonia this weekend.
The 2019 world champion heads to his home round off the back of a second retirement from six rounds at Safari Rally Kenya last month. Tanak suffered a broken gear lever and a prop shaft failure, before a power steering issue ultimately ended his rally prematurely.
However, the 34-year-old led last year’s edition early on only for a puncture to cost him half a minute on Friday, before retiring when a second puncture struck, leaving him without a spare wheel to continue. Amid its battle to improve reliability, Hyundai has shown flashes of speed on gravel with the team openly admitting that it has focussed the development of its car for gravel rallies.
