WRC – Penalty for Monte-Carlo’s WRC2 winner Gryazin hands Rossel class win

Sport news Gryazin, who led the Monaco-based fixture from start to finish, topped the timesheets by just 4.5sec from Rossel at the final control on Sunday afternoon. However, Rossel’s PH Sport team later lodged an appeal against the Škoda Fabia RS Rally2 driver, claiming Gryazin had breached Article 19.2 of the 2023 FIA WRC Sporting Regulations by cutting a corner 13.2km into SS14 on Saturday evening. After reviewing the evidence submitted and checking onboard footage from Gryazin’s car, event stewards upheld the protest – penalising Gryazin by 5.0sec, making Rossel the victor by just 0.5sec. It is a bittersweet victory for Rossel. At EKO Acropolis Rally Greece in 2021, the Citroën C3 driver found himself on the receiving end of penalties when he was denied victory after his car failed post-event scrutineering.   World Rally Championship Rallye Monte-Carlo WRC SEASON 2023 Sport Rallies 1SportWorld Rally ChampionshipRalliesWRCSEASON 2023Rallye Monte-Carlo01 Sunday, January 22, 2023 - 10:24pm Sunday, January 22, 2023 - 10:24pm
