I merely objected that I had not agreed that the FIA needed to change the rule, which you seemed to be implying in your post. If, when you said "We have already agreed that FIA should change the rule" you did not include everyone on the forum, I apologize and request that you choose your words more carefully in the future.
I finally note that you ask for no flaming, in which case I myself ask for no more trolling.

*apologies*
Ps. Yes everybody agreed that the rule wasn't correct now, and even the one before needed some fix ! Perfect solution has to be found yet. What about 30 sec (or more, like 1 min) given to each 1 and 2 day winner ?

If drivers are doing this and Loeb is complaining/feeling burned by the tactics, at the end of the day he too could use such tactics and play the waiting game...
Nothing is stopping Loeb and EVERY other driver doing the same thing, so I don't think it's such a massive issue. You just need to be a little more clever than the other guy."It's the most fun you can have with your pants on" - Possum Bourne

I don't recall Loeb complaining, and yes he does it too, it just doesn't work the same all the time. From what we've seen so far, Greece and Turkey are the only two events where the road position matters for Loeb, and that's because of cheap tyres, not because of position rules.
