I'm not saying before the end, I'm saying for next year. There aren't many drivers in the pipeline (maybe Tidemand but I don't see how he'd be faster than Lappi, for instance) to replace him but he's not doing himself any favors.

I don't agree that FIA should change the rule in the midle of season. I know that what happened in the last two power stage are not fairplay but they didn't violeted any rules
Ogier: "I'm also very pleased because I think we improved a lot since last year, the car seems faster on gravel. Together with Ford our engineers have done a good job to prepare this rally, at high altitude, now we have to see in Europe if we improved the same. That's good sign anyway!"
Everybody had the chance to do it now, so no reason not to change the rules before Argentina since it's more fair now than if they had done it after Sweden.
Congratulations to ogier ;-)
and for a smart drive to Andreas even if the times did not match the way he is used to.
All in all a nice rally.
Really great rally by Ogier, no significant mistakes, everyone else had spins/punctures/technical troubles.
Great performance by Sordo, all in all good rally by Meeke as well. Neuville managed to scrap up some points at least.
Loeb, much faster than I thought he would be, can't wait for next event to see what more he can do.
And Toyota should up their game.
