Rally Finland 2011

Hirvonen fastest again, he is getting really close to Ostberg and Solberg now.

Good time by Sordo again ;) but cannot improve his current position :mark:

Yes, Sordo has been better than expected in the first two rallies with MINI, and it looks like it will be 2-0 over Meeke after this one. I have always stated that Meeke is way overrated and I predict that Sordo will beat him on the remaining 4 MINI events aswell.

Mikko is driving well but then again he doesn´t have the pressure, just enjoying the fast roads.

Petter was 1s/km slower on SS16...maybe a combination of setups and mental stress. He can be much quicker than this.

Dissapointing for ford, wasn't exactly the result I hoped for :down:
If Loeb can win this, he's practically guaranteed 100 points(not including the powerstages) from the 6 rallies that are left including this one...It seems the championship is over already! :o

hirvonen is really fast, i think he´ll become 4th!

Now we will have to wait to see if there will be any team-orders. Also it remains to be seen if, in the case Hirvonen catch-up with Solberg, they will ask JML to let him pass to third to take maximum possible amount of points for championship.

That's a lit bit unfair for Meeke. Sordo was been doing the championship for last four years with a top car, he knows the rally's and he knows turbo cars. As much as I like Sordo I think Meeke is going to be faster next year.

Indeed thats an unfair prediction...in sardinia where meeke had experience of the event as well he was faster until the gas stuck and caused him an off...i think next year the results are going to be safer for both.
