Rally Portugal 2016

[Lundefaret]

So, Capito tells Autosport that Kris winning in Portugal is devaluing the championship?!

Capito is the guy that wants the time differences in the two or three first days be divided by 10, so to close the whole field up (much like putting out a safety care in circuit racing to increase the action), and then he suddenly dont like Meeke winning because his starting position helped him?!?!?!

Its great for the championship that we have different winners! Finally there is some real excitement!

Only logical solution to this is that Ogier has told Capito that "either you fix this starting position thing, or i quit rallying."

Lol, what an idiot. Why is it taking so long for him to piss off to McLaren? He won't be missed.

Capito, feel free to leave whenever you want...

Say what you want but I think Capito is right. The same apply reverserly if it had rained, or in rallys like Monte. He maybe forgot to say this but never mind.
Hat off to Kris victory this weekend but it is true that rules as they are, are just wrong.

As for "more variety of winners" I think it is awful if we obtain it in a artificial way, not giving to the best a chance of win (or advantaging him so much in other kind of rallys).

I know many of us are sick of one man winning everytime (especially if he is arrogant, full of himself and is moaning the hell out of him everytime) but we should try to be rational in judgment

Its great for the championship that we have different winners!

I've got a mixed feelings. On one hand it's nice to see 3 different winners in the last 3 rallies. On the other hand it's only because Ogier was cleaning the road most of the time.

Finally there is some real excitement!

Actually Meeke was just building his lead from day 1 unchallenged. And Ogier still has a huge lead in the championship. Only excitement was Paddon's fire.
Do you call excitement 'will Ogier take back time lost during previous days on the Sunday sprint'? Mind you that Sunday stages was less than 20% of the rally...

Different winners are exciting only for statisticians - what matters is fight on stages. And Ogier can cruise to championship on only 2nd places, with wins taken by guys currently down enough on the ladder to have completely clean road. Because when they move up in the points they can no longer win.
