As a Solberg and Subaru fan, this was a painful season to endure. It’s such a shame they and Pirelli could never bring back the car to what it was - at least a contender to winning rallies and potentially the title.
They didn’t screw up F1. When they came in, F1 asked them to produce high deg tyres and they did exactly that. They then produced more durable tyres when the teams and drivers asked for it for 2017. Teams were also abusing the limits with the tyre pressures etc which is why some of the punctures happened eg the ones in Baku 2021.
As a Solberg and Subaru fan growing up, this season was painful to watch and what happened in this rally was just unacceptable. Such a shame that Subaru couldn’t get the car reliable and consistently back to challenging at the front before they pulled out at the end of 2008.

Huge air for Atkinson!
Solberg was so done with his constant bad luck at this point. I think 19:48 sums it up pretty well.

I think everyone knows now that PIRELLI was and is the problem
It was karma for solberg after winning rally GB after Michael park's death. Petter could have done something similar to what Sebastian did but didn't.
@@stephenpowell8750 interesting take 🤔
@@MsNessbit lol I know but thing's got even more horribly wrong for petter after GB and obviously pirelli's inability to make tyre's screwed him.

Further evidence here of why pirelli shouldn't be let any where near motorsport screwing up rallying and F1 now as well

I feel that so much. As good looking as the hawk-eye Subie was, it was so cursed. :(
