Must say well done to Seb Ogier, again he has proven to us why he has taken the WDC in the past 4 years and why he will take it this year, if M-Sport manage to capitalize on that & take the manufacturer crown this year also and convince Ford to comeback all ready after 5 years of waiting it will be great. As for the others, another fine podium for the Hyundai pair of Neuville & Sordo, hopefully next time Paddon will be more lucky and be able to fight @ the front 'till (and including) the last stage. Toyota have shown another solid performance considering the circumstances, not a bad debut for Lappi, and even though again Hanninen finally finished the rally without superrally rules, he still isn't anywhere near the top runners in terms of pace. However, it is still more than can be said on Stephane, honestly apart from him being french I still have no idea why he is in the 3rd Citroen seat & not Mikkelsen. Meeke again showed us his driving style makes him do silly mistakes, which are tbh costly mistakes both for him & for Citroen. I honestly don't know how they are going to retain the numbers 7-8-9 on their cars next year, I hope PSA won't pull the plug and if they do at least, I hope they bring back Peugeot. Breen as far as I'm concerned is their only glimmer of hope atm. Again he showed us just what he is made of, and when things went right for him on Friday he was among the quickest, another solid result for him. Imho, if Citroen will leave the WRC fold by 2018 I really hope that boy finds a seat in the championship as he deserves it.
Only you know your true potential.
This year we rally #ForCraig

Someone asked why Tanak didn't get any time back from SS7, no dust and passes Latvala at 16:10

Yes he crashed when nothing was at stake. Just like Ogier did in Spain 2015. Neuville crashed out from clear lead twice this year remember?
Mikkelsen's overall "crash rate" is below average from the top drivers for last 2 years. As for fighting for positions, in Australia it was Ogier who made a mistake fighting for win with him. Ogier that had nothing to loose (and Ogier is arguably the most crash-free driver atm.), Mikkelsen had everything to loose at that point. No seat, low chances of getting one and only 2 rally wins, both of them partly handed to him.
So this comment of yours is just complete bs. Sure it was a mistake, that's about it.Last edited by mknight; 21st May 2017 at 17:59.

Good work from Breen and Lappi.Thank God, Ogier stopped complaining and put his head down.This not the VW Seb.This is Ford.Keep your head down and try for the best.No comment for Meeke or Lefebvre.Evans and Tanak did a good work bringing the Fiestas home.A lot of problems for Paddon again.Not his year.Neuville didn't overpush and remained calm.Got the points, so he still has a chance.
