    that Hyundai is definitely best at the moment. This time neuville isn't as fast in previous rallies but sordos performance yesterday was mind blowing and I don't consider him the best gravel driver. He did very well in Sweden too.

    Just imagine how dominant Ogier would be if driving the Hyundai. It's good for the competition that the best driver and one of the stage for stage quickest drivers make up the M-Sport team. When Neuville or Paddon finally get their act together they will win some rallies, maybe even take a 1-2 placing. However, only a fool would bet against Ogier also being on the podium, whatever. I think on normal altitude gravel and tarmac Ogier will still have the beating of JML - any other potential competitor will need a consistent run of better podiums than Ogier just to come into contention. Forget the number of respective stage wins, at the end of this rally only one driver will have had 3 successive podiums. That is how a champ does it when not in the best car.
    Kris Meeke got fired -PSG so terrified they quit!

    Sordo was clearly overdriving so far from what I've seen in the daily reports. However I agree Hyundai is probably the best tuned atm. I'm still not convinced about the Citroen though, seems like tyres were playing some role yesterday, next rallies will show what is it about c3. Good work by the engine engineers though.

    Maybe because of what Latvala said:
    "...The team found a solution to the overheating problems that were affecting us yesterday, which meant that we were gradually able to increase the power throughout the day."

    The Yaris wasn't only competitive in Sweden: on some stages it was far ahead. It was competitive in Monte Carlo too. Had Tanak not had issues and had Neuville not retired Latvala would have finished fourth anyways.

    I think this event was a tough one on the car with little testing in similar conditions.

    Tänak has had a great journey on this rally...Firstly avoids crashing into local farmer on recce and crashes into a tree, then i think he was the one who lost most because of the engine overheating (not that sure thought) and now, as you can see from pictures below he ran over a dog 135km/h (rip the dog), avoided one dog and then some goats wanted also take him out and on SS16 after the stage the flag guy messes something up and they nearly collide with Paddon. But hey, fourth place and some points from power stage would be very nice.
