    Exactly! May play to his advantage given he seems to like to drive that way. I guess the stage-end interviews would've blown the secret that he was leading though, even if his co-driver kept quiet.

    It's not just about You see splits or not, it is the whole package of a driver approaching his own rally. But my comment anyway was mostly the disappointment of some other challengers, namely Meeke and Neuville. I don't know what the problem with Neuville was today though. Mikkelsen was also little trying too hard and had another suspension damage, he has enough experience with this rally so it is pure driving error. Probably Latvala's mistake was not so big, but lost some precious seconds, it is a pity, I was expecting good fight tomorrow with Ogier.

    i like his posts for example today we learned that paddon was more nose end first than anyone, a technique that he did not use in portugal, Ogier tomorrow will be more nose end first though and maybe latvala will also follow with a bit more nose end first and they will fight. and as usual the most nose end first wins... i wish i was a bit more nose end first then i could be champions of everythings.

    yeah - obviously I am not claiming he's only driving well because of that - his car's had an upgrade too, and who knows what other factors, but I was responding to the quote saying the other drivers need to focus on driving and ignore Ogier's constant stream of dramatic talk while undramatically beating everyone. I only mean I expect Paddon might be good at this.

    nafpaktos I'm pretty sure that's easy, but even easier than finding out how to ignore somebody on a forum is to actually just ignore them with your brain and not read them.

    Curb your enthusiasm with Paddon. He showed great stuff today and I'm very happy for it, but a good rally happens to everyone. The day before yesterday he was lying in 7th-8th positions.
    Don't misunderstand me, I'm very happy to see a guy with so little experience leading a rally, but before referring to him as a possible Ogier-beater we will have to wait.
    I'm pretty sure the posts about Paddon tomorrow night will be different than today.
