    No-one has broken any contracts here. If the reports are true, there was a buy-out clause in Ogier's contract and TGR simply exercised it. Fair deal. And if anyone feels it was "too easy" for Ogier...

    If Östberg's pace in 2018 is anything to judge by, Lappi should be really strong in Finland from that starting position.

    I don't get how it makes Lappi's situation any better if others have had bad rallies too. "Look Pierre, you can't be mad at me, Latvala and Mikkelsen have performed poorly as well". Ok, but in all...

    In other words, out of seven rallies, he's done his job properly in one. Not exactly what you would expect from a guy who won his fourth ever rally in a World Rally Car.

    If things haven't radically changed, they still don't have the budget to run a third car. So if something is changed, it would have to be to switch Lappi for someone else for x amount of rallies. I'd...

    I think you're cutting corners there. Case Meeke was a different story altogether (with bad PR, high hopes turned into failure, not even mentioning the driver profile). In 1997 (not that it would be...

    Oh yes, most definitely. Based on 2018 one must have nine titles to be able to win with the C3. So from that point of view: 1) the car is shit, 2) Ogier will struggle.
