Great rally, great result!
I have been working with Ott since 2011 Germany and today was just........ no words, I am very, very happy ! I posted last forecast for the team eraly in the morning and I was scheduled to fly from Tallinn to Berlin at 13:50 (Estonian time), today, luckily, plane was delayed 20 minutes (thank you AirBaltic for being consistent with your delays) and 20 seconds before taking off and switching my phone to flight mode, I got the mesage from the team - "Ott won !"
I must say that this is a great team work. M-Sport might have the smallest budget, they might not have separate people for each task, they might noth have fancy caps or posters for the fans.. but what I have seen, they work really closely as a team. Most of the people are not working for the money only, they work with a passion and for the passion. I have talk to the person who is driving the truck, sets up service park and helps with quarding overnight, opens the gates for VIP-s and quests and he is really proud about his work! He feels as an important part of the team. I have seen how Julien is shaking everybodies hand in sevice park in the morning.. This is really good example how the team has grown together as a family. I think, this is one of the reaons behind their success in this season. I am just looking and wondering about one other team where one star driver is playing down his car and complaining mehcanical issues stage, by stage, day by day. this is not team spirit. They have something to learn from M-Sport.
I will take a second beer now
One thing that must be definitely noted here. Big, big, big, big, big credits to Toyota. Clerck of the course did nothing related to Latvalas dust problem and sportingly, Toyota decided not to ask to review his stage time. This is great rally spirit, this is rally Thank you Tommi, you are GREAT for the rally!Colins Crest = Möldri Mätas

Another crazy rally!
The good: Tanak, whole Toyota team, Sordo's good pace on gravel, championship fight got tightened, saturday Red Bull tv production
The bad: Citroen car, Meeke, Paddon, wrcplus live stages commentary (seemed especially horrible after comparing it to Red Bull on saturday)
Matton finally making some "corrections" is also good and a break rally will probably help Meeke. After the SSS on thursday the first thing he said was he put the previous rallies out of his mind. Except he didn't and mentioning it at the first chance he got shows it. After that quote i was sure he would crash but it's now clear the car is the most set up sensitive by far of all '17 machines so can't put all blame on him.
Also, for me, Neuville has surpassed Ogier as biggest whiner by far.

Huge congrats to Tanak and Jarveoja for their victory; first of many, surely. A big applause to EstWRC, bluuford and the other Estonian fans for their continuous support to Tanak, here on the forum and also on WRC stages, waving the nice looking Estonian flags!
Also huge congrats to Lappi for his pace and stage wins. I’ve said a long time ago: he’s champ material!Rally addict since 1982

Keith Cronin just took a huge 18.2 sec out of both Devine & Edwards on SS4 ! Edwards says that's mental and Keith is a special talent.
