    Frustration is not an emotion but an attitude. An inability to accept things as they are and to hold others accountable for their own satisfaction. And for your simple satisfaction you do not have to ruin the existence of all those around you. When you enter the World Rally Championship you know the rules and accept them. Otherwise you do something else. There's only one who makes a mess.

    FFS, that attitude is rallying on paper! Rules would mean a slight disadvantage, not 3 drivers, all capable of winning the event, were on the podium last year, two of whom have won it several times and one even started it with two stage wins and then BAM, they are 8,9 and 11, loose to a FWD car driven by a person first time in this event, because some part was left unploughed and with small chances of even getting into the top 5. And the biggest issue is...they dare to say, it sucks, they can`t be humans with emotions, they have to lie it`s dandy, just to keep some happy ( and others thinking wth has happened to fast drivers).

    Translation of what Ogier was saying (without the diplomacy filter!)
    What him, and others here fail with that reasoning is that it happened on the Swedish side, not the Norwegian. And it is the Norwegians that would gain from it.

    Also, none of us knows the rules and laws regarding the snowplough in Norway v Sweden. In no other situation you'll see the same person on both sides of the border.

    From a spectator PoV this have been one amazing day with proper snow conditions. Ogier complained the last years as well (even though he had advantage then). He'll never be happy here.

    Does anyone have pics of the latter part of SS4? From the sounds of it, the amount of snow is much more than what came down during the night!

    Sidenote: We met the plough on SS Svullrya around 0430 local time today :-)

    Biggest time losses were this afternoon regardless. That's rallying.

    Umm, well, yes, i was not talking about that specifically but the frustration started before like i mentioned. Probably quite hard to mentally adjust to pushing hard and chasing hundreths. Although those second runs have also been more friedlier, last year podium for example, with small changes, identical to RMC.

    So happy for Breen and Paddon - if anyone, it's those guys who deserve some success for once. And yes, WRC+ All Live has been wonderful today.

    So a horrendous day for M-Sport's top two...

    But a pretty decent job by Suninen on just his 3rd WRC1 drive.

    And good to see a Fiesta R5 leading WRC2.

    There's always positives if you look hard enough !

    Ogier: "It's been a difficult day, I couldn’t do anything. I tried but I can't be faster. When you lose more than 1.5s/km in the 2nd loop, there must be something wrong somewhere because I don’t think that's my normal rhythm. I'm far, far away, there's no real target."
