Why to put Hirvonen infront of Loeb?! He doesn't have chance against Ogier.

Second that, Citroen should focus on the manu title and if in the meantime Loeb can come back and beat the VW's they should allow it.

It is getting interesting Now we will see how good is Ogier at chasing and if loeb will finally win a stage.

So Ogier is still human after all, it will be interesting to see how he reacts to this, he could still win it, and lets face it, he has still less to lose if he bins it than Loeb or Mikko.

No titles have been decided yet. I know, Ogier is miles in front but any chance could prove valuable.

Hirvonens pace in Argentina has thus far been quite good. Normally hardly a match for Ogier, but he's under pressure now.

Ogier 17 seconds behind Mikko with half a rally left, and people talking about team-orders. Come on.

You didnt read all, did you?

Early in the service Ogier talked more about the incident that cost him the lead. “We had a problem with the handbrake, like we had for a long time,” he explained.

“It was a long right-hand tightening corner – a fast one – and the exit was full of mud. I started to understeer a little bit and I wanted to help the car with the handbrake but unfortunately it locked the front and I understeered more. I have no option but to go off the road.”

Volkswagen replaced the complete handbrake and differential lock system in service and are analysing whether or not the system was faulty.

Ogier and Jari-Matti Latvala’s cars are fitted with the same type of system, which is known to be slow at releasing drive to the front wheels when the handbrake is pulled.

The third Polo R of Andreas Mikkelsen is fitted with a new, different system that is faster but unproven in competition.

Despite Ogier's desire to use the new system immediately, the team is unwilling to introduce it until they are hapy with its reliability.

Ogier completely mad man. In just one split he takes 2.2 from Loeb.

I reckon Ogier needs 16 sec back today - this is a good start (hope I don't jinx it)
