Nasser Al-Attiyah is the outstanding leader of the Dakar, with a very important advantage over, among others, Carlos Sainz. And precisely because of a decision by the FIA with Audi, Sainz’s team, it has exploded on its social networks.
“What a surprise to give our main rival 11 more HP!!! Thanks for killing the race early“, he wrote on his networks. A message that he later deleted. Now he is exposed to a sanction from the FIA.
The Qatari responded this time in the race. He did it this Thursday in the fifth stage, which he again won with solvency ahead of his rivals.
And after the test he explained that deleted message: “Simply I posted what is there. That comes from the organization, and we publish it, it’s normal, everyone publishes it.”
The current champion does not usually bite his tongue with his words. He repeated that Audi is faster, but that he is making the difference: “in the pilotI have made the difference.”
“They are faster, we are the third car”, sentenced the Qatari, accustomed to controversies for his words. A few words that could now cost him a sanction.
