what about team orders from Makkinen?
Will he must allow Lappi to push Latvala? Or he must secure a 1-2 for Toyota, and keep alive championship hopes for Latvala?

Tough choice. But a bad move to rein in Lappi in his home rally I think. I know they are all out watching the rally but I'd be interested to know what the Finns think?

[N.O.T]

Lets see if neuville wakes up... he has to now that Ogier is out.

As a Finn I would say Tommi will let them fight. But at this point too early to worry about team orders. Anything can still happen and the main thing is to drive away from the competition.

imho he hasn't got to push if he is not at a good day with good feeling.
5th position has 10 points,and his gap to Ogier is 11 points.
its like to start the championship again,and till now from what we ve seen ,if the championship started just now,seems he has better chances than Ogier.
He must not through to wastebasket this chance.

because ''everything can happen'' I would secure the 1-2 for Toyota and keep alive Latvala chances.

Yes but that 5th is 20 second away and the guys infront are previous winners or people with experience on the event so he has to take risks... plus ogier will have a chance to get 5 points in the power stage sine it will be all or nothing for him... so neuville must wake up

My first time spectating a rally in 15 years, on Jukojärvi 1...wow, these new cars are awesome. Managed to see Ogier before his crash. Tänak seemed to already have problems turning to a junction and Paddon had already stopped before the place. Suninen went quite wide in the junction, basically went to the ditch rear end first but managed without bigger issues.

Latvala and Lappi and Suninen doing a great job, what a great rally, although shame about the retirements.
