I am say I am surprised that Ogier could match Loeb speed on this event. He has greatly improved on Tarmac.
He should, however, spent some time to learn good manners. A bit of arrogance is not bad, but now he is borderline moronic. Comments like "there is justice in the sport" after Loeb puncture are a disgrace.
It's bad for the team image and his.
He need to turn his tongue 5 time in mouth before answering reporters!

I must say I expected more from JML after his performances on tarmac last year, Hirvonen actually did quite well if you look at his terrible performance last year:-) Mind you though, hats off to sordo, a brilliant drive and a well deserved podium for mini.

Great work for Citroen, as usual, but expecially Ogier, I thought he wasn't so fast on tarmac.
Good work for Mini too, but they must work on reliability, Meeke again out :(
Good rally for Weijs Jr too, and rally of the season for Kuipers... without the puncture he would have been 6th now.
Instead, I expected something more from Campana and Burkart :mark:
Nothing to say about Ford... everything wrong... how can they expect to beat Citroen in that conditions...

Sebastien Ogier win Rally Germany 2011.
Sebastien Ogier is the winner of Rally Germany 2011. He won the race with one mistake (WRC Rally Germany 2011 Sebastien Ogier mistake hit a fence - YouTube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ruvfYtu17mw)) that cost him few seconds.
Second place is for the teammate Sebastien Loeb at +39.8 sec. Loeb lost top position after having a puncture. Third place and the best result for MINI driver Dani Sordo at +1:55.6. Sordo pushing hard without mistakes and set the best result for Mini so far. Forth place is for the Finn Mikko Hirvonen with Ford at +2.43.7. The Finn has couple of mistakes including hitting a wall (WRC Rally Germany 2011 Mikko Hirvonen hit a wall - YouTube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tYoLxdgXQYY)) and few punctures during the rally. Fifth in overall standing is the privateer driver Peter Solberg with Citroen DS3. Peter has also some problems like out of the road (WRC Rally Germany 2011 Peter Solberg Mistake - YouTube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ej0apRm6sLg)) and punctures. The Norwegian is at +3:48.0 by the winner Ogier. Sixth place for Kimi Raikkonen at +7:24.6 one excellent position for the Ex-Formula 1 driver.

I know he hasn't got much WRC experience nor with driving a WRC car, but he should've at least shown some flashes of brilliance. He hasn't done that once, which is very disappointing for a tarmac driver. Hope he makes more use of his second chance in France.

Does Block pay to be live on tv in the Powerstage? Kuipers, 11th in the startingorder, did not appear, he rarely appeares in the Powersatge live on tv, were Blocks and Wislon always are on tv, even if they are 15th or 20th

Pay to be on TV, wow this is a new extreme and pathetic! (I know about this from another thread but still, crap if you have to pay to be on TV! So not only for example is Henning Solberg trying to get sponsors, his sponsors would give him money to support but for their BRAND to be seen on TV they'd have to pay the Mafia, sorry North One money to be seen!)

Waterloo for Ford, also geographically quite near. Happy with the win of Ogier. His pace on tarmac was surprisingly good. Gave some variations in tarmac rallies. Also happy with the 3rd place for Sordo with the Mini. Of course I’m supporting the Finnish drivers but when the fight for the championship for Mikko is over, I don’t care if he’s 3rd or 4th.

Great drive from Ott Tänak in SWRC.

beating loix in ypres in his first attempt is absolutely worth writing about. few people are able to do that, not even most wrc drivers..

AFAIK only three people in ages long history of Ypres Rally managed to win on first attempt - Henri Toivonen, Luca Rossetti and Kris Meeke. No-one else managed so, that including Marcus Grönholm, Juha Kankkunen etc...

I really like Ogier, but he is getting a bit agressive when there is no need for it. He needs to learn to control his emotions before he speaks to the press. The crying in Finland and his negativity against his own team in Germany will not do him any favours in the future.

Agree. But on the other hands looks like something makes him to behave in this manner. It might be as positive as negative. E.g. let's remember situation with team tacticks, which was to make Ogier winner several last rallies. Definitely we don't know much things. Probably it will be clear sooner or later, or we will never know.

Who was the last? Hanninen or Gassner?

Gassner.

Well, this year's Rally Germany was a total disaster from a Finnish viewpoint. Latvala showed great speed when he wasn't engulfed in dozens of problems like for example diarhhea... Other than that, a very nice rally full of surprises and action. A really positive thing was Mini's pace. In the end, Mini (Sordo) was only 0,32 s/km slower than the rally winner. Someone could calculate what the difference would be if SS2 is left out of the calculations... I'm starting to like Ogier more and more. He is totally capable of winning Loeb and that in some way, seems to create some friction inside the team. Will we see more Citroen management (above the WRT) interventions during this season...? Anyway, it's a nice spice to WRC where everything is so polished and "office'd" nowdays.

Hänninen doing his first big mistake in SWRC. In the end, I don't know what caused the off because they had a special marking in the notes "care, gravel" but still went off. In Academy, first win for Breen. Lemes made only one mistake, but it was enough to lose the victory.

Organizers, make a 70% new itinerary for next year and I'll definately come there. ;) I like Germany!

World Rally Championship - News - Q&A: Julien Ingrassia (http://wrc.com/news/qa-julien-ingrassia/?fid=15252)

"We are not bad boys, we are not so silly either. We can understand there is team orders, this is in our contract and in the contract of almost all the drivers."

What a great spot and only one clip. Did the official asked you to move or was it not good for you.
The shot at 2:19 is just before that spot, I walked there after the 30th car or something like that. I have still some other footage, but can't make the video too long. The longer version (that will be sold on the 2011-Annual Review DVD) will probably contain more footage of that spot.

Thanks at the other comments!

There is being passionate, opinionated, etc, and there is simply being boorish and arrogant. Which do we think Ogier is?
I think the former, since emotions are clearly running high within the Citroen camp. Had Ogier made some of the comments attributed to him in the cold light of a hotel lounge feature interview for L'Equipe then I'd view them differently. Also, what has been said in English and what in French - some stuff definitely gets lost in translation. Good win for Ogier but he shouldn't expect any charity for the remainder of this year - after all he did just get luck with a puncture for Loeb.

Brilliant video.
By the way S2000 cars sound way much better, and don't look like they're high on steriods as WRC cars.
Speed matters though.

I really like Ogier, but he is getting a bit agressive when there is no need for it. He needs to learn to control his emotions before he speaks to the press. The crying in Finland and his negativity against his own team in Germany will not do him any favours in the future.

Now that Loeb stays in he will try to move to VW..... you will see.... ;-)

22nd August 2011, 09:18
he still has 2 years of contract and if Loeb chooses the option to retire at the end of 2012 then Ogier might be the new face of Citroen for the coming years.

I think its far better to work in an environemt where everyone speaks your language and the office is in your country.

I think next year Ogier will be very hard to catch speedwise, this year reminds me of Loebs 2003 year were he was very fast and very close in winning the championship and in 2004 he won it with hands in pockets.

I still doubt that Ogier can be that consistent as Loeb, already in Germany he had a very lucky moment.

we will see.

Ogier was asked by French TV crew on friday evening if there were gonna be tactics and he answered : "Loeb is gonna go cry to the team 'My young teamate is pushing me blablabla' [...] theres things and people that made me dream in the past but not anymore"

And that's not me paraphrasing, he did say those things exactly as i translated them ... (well as exactly as my english is :D )

I think there is a place and a time to say some things and i believed he shouldnt say stuff like that. To me he sounded like a child...

Merci, beaucoup. Your english is fine, that clarifies the issue for me. Ogier should be told to keep it buttoned or else go and stand on the naughty step. It is one thing to have a team disagreement but all this now seems like sour grapes. I think Quesnel made a massive error of judgement in deciding that this should be Ogier's 'year' and giving him preferential access to information. What did they expect the most competitive rally driver of all time to do , roll over and play dead? Loeb made his point by out-foxing Ogier in Finland and there can be very little complaint from Ogier - he tried a 'my team' move and it's failed. Eat it up or sign for VW (which it looks like Quesnel feared / expected Loeb to do)

I’m not sure having them both in the same team is going to work. Two quick drivers sounds fine, but there simply needs to be a No1 & No2 for the good of the team. One for the Championship and wins, the other to support and step up if the No1 has problems. Maybe it could work if the Manager handles it perfectly – something Quesnel doesn’t seem able to do. If I was one of the Citroen top brass, I’d actually be slightly worried about the next 2 years – we could have an inter-team war, a la Prost/Senna.

They sure are crazy, but luckily they have situated far enough on the corner. If a car had lost control in slower speed and started to slide partly off road - then it would've been goodbye.

In Finland we were spectating in a corner where 4-5 photographers stayed on the outside of the corner where top cars were slightly jumping sideways on two wheels. When security and zero cars came they all walked five metres into the bushes to hide - anyway they are there at their own risk, but shouldn't defy life. And I can tell I went to the corner because I saw great pictures from it the year before...

True, but they are not stupid. Look how the second guy is there just as a "safety guy", you can see that he has his hands wrapped around the vest of the guy shooting. Camera limits vision quite badly... The second one is there to look with his eyes and ready to pull the camera operator to safety in case of runaway car. Ofcourse outrunning a rally car with your feet sounds like... Well, nearly impossible.

That's not crazy, that's just plain stupid and the other guy ruined the shot!

Although I'm a loony myself when it comes to filming rallies but there are places where I never go to film. 50, 40, 30cm from the car in a "safe" place is much better than 4, 3 or 2 meters from outside of the corner. And yes, the shots are worth the risk.

Gotta say I like Ogier. I like his "My team mate is the most succesful in the business, no one has beaten him to a title for years, but I'll still fight take him on" attitude.
And beating the worlds most successful rally driver in a rally that has only ever been won by him deserves respect, no matter which way you look at it.

Because having Senna and Prost really stopped McLaren from winning, didn't it? As 'problems' go it's hardly the worst to have right now....M-Sport can see Citroen off the in distance and Mini coming up strong. That is a problem.

Indeed they are both helping eachother to put the equipment there and give it a good setting to film etc. Goes faster with two, btw they also mostly caring the sponsor logo's that u see on TV. He's indeed not there for safety :p .

I never said that his sole role is being safety guy. I know that they are both cameramen and operate the machinery.

But when the other is filming, the second one is sometimes used as a safety guy. During last years, I've seen them doing exactly the same manouvre in Rally Finland. Other has his hand inside filming guy's vest and is ready to pull him out. Whether it's real safety, I don't think so, but it's better than nothing. But he is there for safety.

In 2004 or something like that I discussed with one cameraman in Ouninpohja, he told that they work in pairs, he was using the small "ground camera" while the other one was 50 metres away with his shoulder camera taking a different angle. Both of them also set the commercial banners before starting to shoot.

When you're that useless it's ok, what if someone had crashed into Østberg's car? Or even sent it down the hill which i heard was very long.

Rallye d'Allemagne 2011 - ES16 - Accident de Mads Ostberg - YouTube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hl8-3btmRyE&feature=player_embedded)

It looks quite clear to me that these marshalls don't have a clue about what they're supposed to do...

They don't know at all what's going on. Mads seems quite pissed off when he comes to take the warning sign from the hopeless marshall...

hi
i have just whatched the germany 2011 i think team orders is wrong i think S. LOEB is the best but i think S. OGIER should not be mad at him self thats why there is drivers not robots thay do it for the love of driving you could not see man utd saying lets have team orders and let man city win today there is good drivers but holding them back thats when thay go some where els then thay are winning all the rallys

There was some interesting statistics in this week gpweek (page 53) (http://mag.gpweek.com/) about the punctures in the German rally.

Michelin investigates.

60% of the punctures related to two stages.
50% of the punctures related to three drivers (Meek, Solberg and Latvala).
50% of the drivers didn’t have punctures.

Meek had five punctures of which two was on shakedown. Sordo didn’t have any punctures at all.

More than 100 broken rims and of those only 10% with puncture. What does that tell about the rims?

Τοο much cuts from drivers? Not so sure.....Clearly the above statistics want to say that wasn t michelins fault all these flat tyres.They are very clever at the way they have type them.To have a right conclusion we had to have and statistics with other asphalt rallies,something is not possible due to be first tarmac rally with these tyres.
We ll see at next round if they are right or not.

Wow! I want those rims, they're so good that even when prokken they don't let the tire puncture!

That's what it says!
and three drivers drove like savages.

100 broken rims?! the difference between a broken rim and a puncture is... Pure luck.

Surely if you have strong enough sidewalls, or high enough profile, you protect the rims. At the end of the day, if Citroen is having punctures, and Loeb didn't hit anything, Michelin have a 'problem'

Kuipers also didn't hit anything.
