Ford backed Carlos Sainz was excluded from the Rally Australia round after pausing between the yellow safety sign and the end stage line today. The next stage is predominantly loose gravel and all of the drivers were jockeying for a later starting position so that they would benefit from others sweeping away the loose surface. After deliberation, officials excluded Sainz from the event as he stopped in full view of VIP spectators and track officials. This effectively puts paid to his extreme long shot of winning the WRC crown for 2000.
