I think that Mikkelsen it's not a panacea for Citroen. Only reason why Mikkelsen slow now - he know that if he try to push, he end into same situation as Meeke. But Meeke in same time can lead rally.
And Sunninen it's great comparison that if car is OK - you be fast from the box.
This is what popped to my mind when I heard his manager's comments on the news of signing for Germany. After these experiences Citroen does not come as his first choice by any means.Quote:

Currently all 3 cars outside top 10. None of drivers understand whats going on. Out of this whole Citroen shit fight.. and all the ridiculing of Meeke... he is the only one in the Citroen team having a small smile now.
Very nice rally shaping up here.
Best Polish driver so far:
L. PIENIAZEK TRT PEUGEOT WORLD RALLY TEAM
Can anyone share few words for him?
Latvala fastest again
Ogier make a good sector2 time. 3.21 when all others 3.26/3.27. It's mud on that sector and some advantage for Ogier?
He started running 3 years ago, has a good background $$$$$Quote:

Seeing the terrible conditions we are lucky we have all drivers still in line
The gap after the four main guys is big. It's interesting to see how it is on the second loop, not to mention tomorrow with the reversed road order...
BTW Lappi going nice again on the first split.
It's like two different worlds yes. Cars before Sordo have their own fight, and cars after another one.Quote:

Good morning for Lappi till now....
Lappi has a wheel knocked off or something according to Mikkelsen.
Suninen flying on first split.
Very good 1st split for Suninen
Norwegian drivers virtually identical stage and overall times.
Why is Ostberg so slow? He had better pace in Sardinia?
What happened to Suninen, he's much down on second split
Shame about Lappi. Hope he doesn't fall back into his crashing ways :(
and after that slowest 2nd sector time
Suninen got to the end around the times of Østberg and Mikkelsen, I hope he doesn't have anything broken in the car because that seemed like constant time loss throughout the stage...
it looks like a spin at 2nd sector. 3rd sector was 2-3 sec better than Ostberg/Mikkelsen
It's interesting that so far Veiby has been on all normal stages faster than Tidemand.
Tidemand's probably not pushing, just trying to secure the championship?Quote:

They the TOP4 in the championship as well. Of course being firsts in the road helps but they're proving they're not the 4 best by faith.Quote:

Sometimes changing category can really spice things up.
Mikkelsen with old car #7 traditions :D
If it were just the conditions there would be a continuum of worsening times, not the order of magnitude shift between Ogier and Sordo. So will there be any benefit for Ogier going first of the top 4 through the ruts tomorrow?Quote:

I can't help think that Meeke would have been fighting with the top 4 driver.......even though he may have crashed by now. Still, Citroen look woeful. At least Meeke showed speed.
Boooo - all Meeke's fault......oh err umm who can they blame now?Quote:

Good close battle between the top drivers and no big mistakes or car problems today.
Shame or Breen's issue and Lappi who was going well.
