Kalle Rovanpera explained the circumstances behind his retirement from the Acropolis Rally Greece, which disrupted his World Rally Championship title race momentum. The Finnish driver encountered a combination of driver error and a mechanical issue on Stage 11, leading to his unexpected exit. Rovanpera braked too late into a tight corner, getting stuck until spectators helped push his car back on track. Despite continuing, terminal damage forced him to stop again. The incident cost Rovanpera six potential championship points, but he aims to salvage up to 10 Super Sunday points and remains hopeful for a strong showing in upcoming rallies to boost his title aspirations.
