Whether he was happy or not was irrelevant... it's a team sport.

If he thought fighting Ogier was a sensible idea at that point in the rally/season then he has a lot to learn.

'Team orders' in rallying has a bad connotation, as it usually implies an inferior driver being told to slow to let a better one pass.

But in this case the driver in front was the No.1. The No.2...

So what, they should fight and risk both their positions and team points with Hyundai in disaray ?

Exactly.


And 'team-orders' is a bit of an exaggeration. Telling your second driver to hold position when he is already behind your leader and has an inferior car (gravel gearbox) is just common...

Tanak goes into 2nd ahead of Neuville in the WDC.

Ogier extends his lead.

M-Sport almost there in the Manu championship.

What a rally.

What a rally by Meeke.. stunning win by the Brit !!

Ultra-professional rally by Ogier... only pushed when required and keep it clean to bring home great points.

Super solid job here by Tanak.

Poor rally for DMack. Still a lot of tyre improvement required for such roads. Rally GB has to be much better.

Cuts in Catalunya.. he was so right about that !

The Marshals are working hard to reposition spectators, listen to them! The stage may be cancelled!!

Real shame that for Lappi after doing some excellent times here.

So so nice to hear a happy Kris Meeke after his bad time this year. Great performance here.

I'm not saying anything... dont want to jinx it !

Ogier didnt sound so sure...

Eat my dust ... ;)

Tanak says his car is fixed and ok now. :)

There will be no MSport team orders according to Ogier.

SS12 "It's not over."

It is now.

Mikkelsen stopped !!!!!

M-Sports coming fast now...

But Mikkelsen could've taken points off Ogier and Neuville would still have a better chance despite those mistakes.

A Neuville team-mate lets him down again.

They really should've got Mikkelsen in at the start of the year and it would been such a different season for them.

True, but will they do that if Ott still has a mathematical chance of the drivers title himself ?
