Being smart and pushing where one can, instead of pushing all the time and crashing/breaking the car (sometimes not) is called luck now. Ok...stupidest argument ever.

Yes, he is very good at judging when to push and when to hold back a little, and helps make his own luck in that way. Probably also helped that the Fiesta seems the strongest car this year when it comes to suspension and impacts etc, like the VW was in its time.
But for anyone to claim it was skill to escape without major damage when (for one example) spinning out of control between trees after hitting a bank is clearly nonsense - in those moments it really is just luck.Last edited by GravelBen; 20th November 2017 at 10:36.

You can't disagree Neuville was unlucky this year.
In Monte Carlo he went maybe 10cm wide, something that happens a lot. Only on that spot he had no room...
In Sweden he wasn't concentrated enough on the SSS. Stupid mistake, only a minor one, but stupid.
In Germany he did nothing wrong imo. Just the Hyundai being fragile (same with Sordo and Mikkelsen in Catalunya)
Catalunya was his fault.
These mistakes have costed him a lot, to finish less then a rally behind (in points), it's fair to say he could have been the champion.
But Ogier got more points, so he is the deserved champion

Would it be better for Neuville (and Evans, I guess) to open the road on dry surface or with some mud? Normally in a gravel rally, the first on the road would hope for some rain to lower the sweeping...
