And that is why you should not leave the fastest car for Hyundai.
Sebastien Loeb, arguably the fastest tarmac driver ever is currently the slowest WRC with that car. Mikkelsen is slowest every time he drives it on tarmac.
Dont think you cant drive fast with it (look at Neuville), it is just incredibly difficult to learn to do it with that car. Look at the 9 time champ.

Sordo and Loeb are losing the battle to Tanak, and to be honest i can't say i'm surprised. Today Tanak has shown "tanak" pace, how many persons can hold him back whens he's driving like this, even Neuville, the best with the Hyundia WRC car, is losing time to him since Meeke's crash. It seems Tanak has decided to determine his own fate with regards to the WDC and has been driving to get that 2nd/3rd position he needs, and who can blame him.
Sordo and Loeb were hired to do an important job, secure manufacturer's points and they are well on course to doing that, granted it would have been better to keep Tanak behind, but that's no easy task. So i can't really blame Sordo and Loeb, it makes no sense over-driving and going off the road and losing even more points and giving Toyota a bigger haul with Latvala benefiting as well position wise if that had to happen. They can't stop Tanak, but maybe they can keep Latvala at bay and hope Neuville keeps his position....so the net effect is that Hyundai's manufacturing championship lead would be extended (just not as much as they would have liked, but nonetheless it increases)Last edited by gorganl2000; 26th October 2019 at 21:20.

Was expecting much more from Evans after Corsica, but he was barely faster than Suninen over the leg.

with regards to the 2nd leg results thus far, some note may need to be given with respect to Tanak. Tanak significantly turned up the charge after Meeke's crash in stage 8 and has won every stage since stage 9, so it begs one to think he could have been leading the 2nd leg results if he had the same intent from this morning. but that's all speculative
