    today it wasn't matter of choice, that he couldn't match Meekes pace.

    Valid argument. At start of rally Catalunya drivers title was more realistic option for Hyundai than Manufacturers title.

    He didn't doesn't equal he couldn't. Why would anyone gamble on matching Meeke when he is not the competition?
    Kris Meeke got fired -PSG so terrified they quit!

    Gearbox change for Ott. Reverts to gravel gearbox.

    Pretty much out of the contention

    Yeah. He says it definitely won’t make things better. What a shame

    Looks like Hänninen would quite like to keep his drive for next year.

    Kopecky will be level with Camilli when they give back the 90s he lost yesterday in Sederidis' dust.

    He said that differentials and gear ratios are different

    Imo there are 2 angles to this:

    - he is driving "full speed" and car can't handle it (car has issues)
    - his driving destroys the good car (remember how in VW his car seemed always to have issues while other 2 were ok)
    Not sure what Clark is on about. All the failures except yesterday's have been fundamentally electrical problems. e.g. in Poland I believe the throttle position sensor was stuck open, so the engine was doing max revs and ruined the clutch. Finland the ECU died in the middle of a gentle left hand corner.

    I don't see how anybody can drive a car so hard that it breaks the electrics and not the mechanicals.
