Evans is only 4 seconds behind Tanak... if Abiteboul tells Tanak to hold back, Toyota will be 1st and 2nd almost surely.Quote:

Only logical move would be to let Tänak attack Ogier and Neuville Evans, but 1 and 4 is better than 3 and 4, its a long shot but of they are 3-4 the manu title is gone, no way toyota humiliates themselves in JapanQuote:

I had the impression, without really going back to check the results, that some stages suit Toyota and some suit Hyundai.
Some stages suit for team orders, some not
Saw somewhere on twitter just a minute ago, that Martijn Widagje was using his(?) phone during the stage, can't seem to find the post rn, if anyone picks up on it, that'll be great.
Whats wrong with that? Have seen co-drivers do that all the time
They added (the one who posted) that the regulation (18.5.1?) states that it’s not allowed to receive information during the stage or something like that, while highlighting the phone.Quote:

Maybe his girlfriend send 10 messages about her day instead of one big. I have the same case. And then the phone rings constantly. Seems here you all want to report Neuville. This is just evil.
You guys really dont know how to get rid of Neuville hahaha
FIA is monitoring it, so if they are passing something that is not legal, they'll deal with it. But changing information is allowed.
Yes but internet is on fire because of that phone. I bet that someone is indeed reported that already. People are novadays like that.
No, honestly it would be nice if Neuville wouldn’t muck it up for once even discarding this.Quote:

Tanak not holding back at all.
This (Ogier vs Tänak) feels very 2019 albeit Tänak isn’t in that Toyota tank ;)
Will Neuville get a message after this one? I doubt it. Cyril's phone is empty..
Why push so much? Fastest on splits atm..
Gryazin isn´t on the splits...?
but based on maps he is moving at leastQuote:

But let's watch now, there are stages to go still.
E: just to add that I wouldn't like it even if this was vice versa.
That cut in Takas corner is becoming pretty illegal. I swear Pajari had 4 wheels of tarmac
Really good day from Munster IMO
Not the only spot. Let´s hope the result of this rally will not be affected by those rules.Quote:

Great to see Tänak finally showing pace with the Hyundai on tarmac. I don’t know if it’s this rally specific or what’s the reason
And if the “new” car suits him better then that bodes well for next year
Gryazin just cut it deep. Would be funny if Škoda reported him now :D
Damn, is that the end of the day? I feel like somebody owes me another stage.
Personally, I think the M-Sport bumper cam can't be beaten. But Tanak-cam ain't bad.Quote:

He get penalty already I think two years ago. In Monte. And guess from who. His teammate Rossel.Quote:
