The Hyundai driver was tipped among the title contenders this year, but his championship push is yet to ignite, with the Estonian without a podium after three rounds.
Tanak finished fourth overall in January’s Monte Carlo opener after a costly mistake on the Friday and then crashed out of the following round in Sweden, where he salvaged only six points under super rally regulations.
Tanak was unfortunate to crash out of second position at Safari Rally Kenya last weekend when he was unable to avoid a rock lying in the middle of the road in stage six that sent his i20 N into a bank.
The 2019 world champion did however benefit from the WRC’s new points system to claim 12 points after topping Sunday’s classification and finishing second on the Power Stage.
Already 34 points adrift of championship leader, team-mate Thiery Neuville, Tanak says the most important objective is to find his form.
“Obviously, I have some bigger things to worry about than the points at the moment,” said Tanak.
“It seems like we really need to get our consistency back. Whatever happened on the Friday, there was really no other option to save it so there was no chance this time. In Sweden and Monte Carlo, they were clearly my mistakes which normally I shouldn’t do and haven’t done [previously].
