    Thanks for noticing, I stand corrected. Actually I heard on the rally radio during the opening stage reports that Tom Williams was the first to retire, as their engine had broken down in the shakedown and they were getting a new engine for day 2.

    Hyundai's new WRC points leader Thierry Neuville defends his "clever" drive to a low-key sixth in Finland:

    Clever ? Yeah, right.

    And not so 'clever' for the Manufacturer's championship was it Thierry...

    Rally Finland winner Esapekka Lappi feared he had blown his maiden World Rally Championship victory with his penultimate stage mistake.
    Defending a 42.2-second lead on Lempaa, Lappi was attempting to drive safely but a mistake born of that conservative approach nearly cost him.
    “It’s not so easy to drive a car like this when you are not pushing,” said the Toyota driver.
    “It’s not like the R5 car; the aero and the centre diff are not working so efficiently when you drive like this.
    “I went into one corner a little bit early and it tightened, a rear tyre dropped off the road and it broke the rim.
    “I wanted to kill myself at this moment. I really thought something was broken on the car.”
    Lappi joked that he was “following Kris Meeke”, who had gone off through a car park on the final stage as he won in Mexico, and said he was still struggling to believe he had triumphed in only his fourth event in a World Rally Car.

    I agree that he was clever and mature.At a rally he was from the slower crews,he managed to gain plenty of points from Ogier.

    Lol, now Ogier should repeat Neuville's comments after Poland and be angry on Latvala/Østberg/Meeke "giving" points to Neuville.

    Anyway for Germany running first or second doesn't matter 99% of the time, but for Spain it could be quite a disadvantage on friday.

    situation will be more complex when they will reach GB and Australia,specially Australia with big role at road position.
    Maybe the guy who will come as 2nd at Australia will have a big advantage.All these if they are close to points with no retirements for both of them at previous rallies.
