    Yes, I was clearly wrong as Pontus time is more than normal, they are evidently fighting for traction uphill on the loose

    Also in combination of low speed corners and very high altitude the WRC loose most of its aerodynamic advantage against the R5 car.

    He doesnt have a problem - he meant its hard for him to get PS points this afternoon (because others need them more and he has to protect the o/a win).

    no, he had a problem, you could see he was very angry and said he will tell later...and he was looking at the display...

    i suspect the engine is overheating again or the handbrake didnt work because i didnt see using it.

    Yep, My estimation was completely wrong, I had expected that after some rain, terrain to be more packed even rocky but from times and drivers comments they are sliding everywhere

    (31 - Tidemand Pontus / Andersson Jonas): We will try, he pushed yesterday morning when he's supposed not to push so now we're trying the claim it back. It's a fair fight though, we'll see what happens.
    Seems like yesterday Škoda wanted its crews to simply cruise through but Kalle didn't like that. Honestly I can understand that considering his age.

    Greensmith in trouble. Veiby back to third.

    PS I'm thinking whether for such young drive like Kalle it even makes any sense to try to keep him following team orders. He has a big potential to be a future winner and in my opinion it's maybe better to simply let him go for it all the time no matter what. I think that for the future they should rather develop his killer instinct instead of training the tactical skills.

    18 years and a half years since Australia 1999. It's been a while since we had a finish like this.
