She was setting the pace through the early stages and had taken a solid lead before being forced to withdraw due to a regulation-related setback with her machine. 'It's never easy to step away from a rally when you're leading, especially one that could have decided the championship. That said, I've always believed motorsport is about how you respond to setbacks.
