Est, since Tanak was out, the rally was over for you, right?
Its his country man so its normal... it is ok to support you countries entries, it gets sad when you get blinded, and it gets really really funny when you become a hopeless case like some finish friends who after years of manager fake dominance in the sport they turned into mice running away from the big mean french cats....
A bit of hoonage out of final service from Ogier - https://twitter.com/SebOgier/status/972944034053410816
Why everyone spit on Mikkelsen, he is sitting in 3rd. Maybe he is playing smart and where he can't be fastest he benefits from taking the most he can. Like Ogier always do. And what Tanak do. After Monte he is pushing and do mistakes. And everytime slipping way back. And Latvala too. He struggle too much. Then there is Evans, Teemu - completely off pace, not even interesting to watch. Toyota - complete disaster. Not gonna say anything more.
Most dissappointing thing is that after 3 months and 3 events already, timing and live is still shity as hell. Well at least previous years there was times brought faster and more accurate. Always freezing and technical issues. And it's not worth any money for a full year...
because you have to look at the big picture... you would expect someone at the age of Mikkelsen and with his experience to challenge for stage wins constantly and be a championship contender or at least a rally winner and someone that opponents see as a threat.
We have ostberg if we want a hopleless case with a big pocket daddy.
What mistakes Tänak has made this season, apart from that misunderstanding with Meeke, where it wasn`t going brilliantly for him anyway?
Teemu has an excuse, being just a rookie, but unless he improves his depressive mentality, it would be hard for him to improve...same with Lappi.
I agree that Teemu and Lappi are very very negative. It's good that they enjoy pushing themselves and won't be satisfied until they reach the level they desire but it's a dangerous state of mind, especially for Teemu being so young and quick. Latvala has been hard on himself his whole career, but it paid off when his constant search for improvement let him put things behind him (early career) rather than in 2016.
Also, Tanak has been quite unlucky so far. Sweden was his mistake but the road order did him no favors, and his engine issue here definitely put him out of contention for a very possible podium early on.
I'm surprised that Latvala was able to clear his head before Mexico after being so flustered in Sweden when Ott began to beat him regularly.
Justice happened, Ogier got a 10 second on time penalty on a power stage for hitting the chicane.
Means no power stage points for Ogi and Latvala, Neuville, Mikkelsen and Loeb gain 1 additional point.
Well Ogier did hit the chicane, so he can't really complain, but seems a harsh punishment. Can't help feeling after Sweden, he's a marked man.
However, who the hell are the stewards? What qualifications have they for sitting? Where did they drag them up from? They sound like the 3 stooges...(Sorry, but I despise officials in all sports; full of their own self importance)
