Well, just a bad situation where no one is to blame...or both equally.

Just an unlucky incident. Tanak caught Meeke in a narrow place, and simply there wasn't enough room for 2 WRC cars side to side.

What a dumbass move by Tanak. And his big mouth recently, he definitely lost his mind after moving in the new team.

Nonsense. I was very annoyed by his complaints and conspiracies over the snow ploughing on Friday, but he did apologize for that later. The Meeke incident was 100% a misjudgment on his part, so he was very wrong to blame Meeke; however, keep in mind that in the heat of the moment details are lost, and we don't even know what he could recollect after the incident because no interviews said anything else afterwards. He might also feel like apologizing again but nobody asked him about it.
I might have suffered today when he began cracking Latvala but Tanak is a class act almost all the time.

Meeke has the wheels a bit to the left almost all the time to avoid getting stuck in the ditch. He's not moving left.

Great rally so far, unfortunately i couldn't watch all stages live but caught up now. Some good battles, too bad they're not showing more of WRC2 that was also very contested!
About the various comments and frustrations of drivers, I think Julian Porter mentioned this also, remember they are asking the drivers stuff seconds after they finish the stage, most likely nerves are still tense and adrenaline is high so they can sometimes say things in the heat of the moment and after they calm down a bit maybe they would have a bit different view. So maybe we should take those comments a bit more lightly.
It seems Neuville is confirming his speed from last year, with a good help from the road position. Tanak did a great job to bring the fight to Latvala, i guess his rushed passing of Meeke was also because he wanted to win that fight. Also decent run by Mikkelsen and Paddon. But for me man of the rally so far is Craig Breen. I hope i don't jinx him!
As for the cars in general the Hyundai seems a good fit for this rally, can't say much about Ford or Toyota because of the road but I did expect a bit more from Toyota, however the big surprise is Citroen, after what they showed last year on this rally this performance is night and day.
As a final impression i'm (pleasantly) surprised so many drivers are still on the road with no rally2 and no crashes or big offs!

Yes I fear so too, you just need to look at the new cost for tourists to get into Venice and when everyone sees the amount of money being made others will soon follow, and prices will go up. As...
