Weren't they reporting a couple of weeks ago that Tanak was definitely staying at M-Sport too? I don't put too much faith in Autosport as a source of accurate information, like most of the media they...

Mikkelsen showed in Germany that the Citroen is competitive on tarmac, which we already knew. He also showed in Poland that it isn't so competitive on gravel, which we also already knew.

Anyone...

It was still clearly the fastest, strongest and most reliable car last year, just the advantage was smaller than the miles ahead it was in 2013-2015.

Just another PR stunt I expect, standard red bull marketing stuff.

This.

You can call them athletes too.

You seem to be missing the point that there are many different types of athlete - using that type of pedantry you would have to claim that the only people who...

You don't think athletes need coordination, balance and anticipation? ;)

I agree that the word 'athlete' is very general and doesn't give you much detail though.

JK is 58 and not getting any younger, it had to happen at some stage and this timing gives a settling in period with Seb before the 2018 season.

Seems the most likely choice, but they haven't said yet. The announcement said that JK will be retiring from co-driving but staying involved with the team.

Tough decision for them both but it had...

It's not that they didn't prepare, they just prepared wrong for the first two events... Whether they prepared wrong for the whole season remains to be seen.

I'd probably say quick more consistently.

From what I've seen over the years I think Latvala at his best is faster than Ogier at his best. But Ogier is very good at being close to his best nearly...

Ogier is a more consistent driver. Quicker... maybe not.

I think I heard a comment from Ogier saying the speeds were getting too fast, all of the other drivers seemed to think the speed was fine.

Don't forget how many of Latvala's bad results last year were due to mechanical failures rather than driving mistakes. Sweden, Argentina, Portugal, Germany, GB were all mechanicals I think.

If they're slow in a 4wd turbo thing they would probably be even slower in a 2wd NA thing. ;)

Understand the point about running costs etc though.

I think Ogier was lucky to get away so light with his few mistakes (Neuville's damaging mistake was smaller than Ogier's but with much worse consequence), but luck is part of rallying too and you...

I do remember a few people on this forum saying Mikkelsen was handed his first win by Ogier crashing out, if they're consistent they would say the same about this one.

I agree with you though,...
