Neuville is going to badly regret that stupid error in Sweden. Very badly.

Whatever the reason there has been nothing said.

There could be real disharmony in the team with driver blaming the car and manager blaming the driver...

I wondered how Hänninen has so many stages leading a rally but it was because he lead during the two cancelled stages in Mexico.

EDIT: actually nevermind, he did lead for two rounds of a super special and that figure shows two, not four

Yep, a shit team that most likely will win next 2 or 3 rally's...come on guys, give them a break.

Btw, in case the forum idiot manage to confuse someone: they're French, with Abu Dhabi sponsorship.

Not advocating, just wondering if it’s still necessary. The two days rule was a desperate attempt to break Ogier domination and the current one helps to prevent another driver/car superiority in a less unfair way, besides giving 2nd level drivers a chance to shine, but with an even field like we’re having this year probably the qualifying is the most reasonable choice and the closest to the sport spirit: the fastest crew wins, without rules aid.

Yep, this was an entertaining rally with another frantic ending, but hearing people saying that the result was unfair and Evans deserved to win (some even said Neuville robbed him) seems a bit nuts. Who was more robbed? Evans, that lost the advantage he took from the starting rule or top drivers like Neuville, Tanak and Ogier that were forced to start day 2 more than 1m behind?
