Elfyn Evans believes he’s still in an “okay” position in the World Rally Championship title race despite a late puncture that robbed him of a valuable Rally Chile podium.

The championship leader appeared set to finish second and pick up a significant haul of Super Sunday points to boost a bid for a maiden WRC crown with two rounds remaining.

However, Evans suffered a front-left puncture in the penultimate stage which required a wheel change. More than two minutes were lost fitting a spare wheel, and with the repair, away went Evans’ podium as he dropped to fifth.
