Rally D'Italia Sardegna 2014

[Ucci]

My summary : Ogier, another victory, deserved, BUT he clearly has a decent rival; which will hopefully make this championship more interesting.
Mads Ostberg : second place in an astonishing result, he showed his maturity, made no mistake whatsoever and the ''bonus'' came in the 2.place. Well done, Mads!
Jari M.latvala : pity for that flat tyre, but if in the future he will not make mistakes, he is able to challenge Seb.....
Mikkelsen : 4.place is maximum in this period what we can expect from him. Thanks god that Polo is like a tank and all three drivers have no worries with the reliability.
Evans : very mature driving, the best Ford at the end, good for his self confidence.
Prokop : for a privateer good result, thanks to some retirements he can be very very happy.
Henning Solberg : I admire that guy, always very positive, it seems that he is enjoying every stage in the WRC car. He can still bring a surprise.
Robert Kubica : as he said on the last interview: 90% of the whole event was very positive for him, except that stupid mistake on M.Lerno...it is clearly showing that he has some experience from last year (although with another co-driver) and for this reason he will become on the next events the fastest Fiesta. Especially on tarmac where he will fight for the overall victory. He is also less hindered when driving on tarmac just with one hand. Remember my words...
Finally : Lorenzo Bertelli-the best way to end an event on home soil is to win the event. Ofcourse in his class. He showed that on so demanding rally in the WRC2 class pure speed is just a small part of succes. You have to be careful, taking care for the car, tyres, engine....it is (unfortunately) the only way to win an event closer to Paris Dakar than a normal rally. I think there will be a huge party in his camp....

Seriously Rally Italy fans?????

who knows and maybe they won't take it off the calander, time will tell

Many behind-the-scenes made me think that. Almost nothing was shown on the Media, but FIA Delegates saw it all.

Great Rally, good duels, JML seems to grow in stability which is positive development, there is no one else who can challenge Ogier this year. Another positive is Kubica, he seems to realise how it should work and pedal to the metal is not the way to win WRC Rally. He still must learn an important lesson - don't cut too much corners if You don't drive Polo. i20 is total disappointment for me.
