Smuggle Dani out of Sardinia before Adamo gets a hold of him....
Nightmare event for Hyundai
Sordo pushing too hard.. such kind of a driver..
If I brought a Hyundai, I think I'd have to attach a tyre to the rear bumper just to make it look like the WRCar.
Adamo is guilty, he's driving his pilots crazy. This is what happens when you are a psycho with your pilots. Get rid of Adamo and things will work out.
Wow... If Ogier and Evans can hold it together until the end, this will third Toyota 1-2 this season - out of five rallies...
So no we're down to just 4 cars with Katsuta being far off the top 3...I really really really hope another manufacturer will join us in 2023, but that's a discussion for another time (& a different thread). Shame for Sordo, would've liked to see him on the podium again. I know it's only round 5 but the way things are going, Hyundai will need a miracle by this point to get back their title.
Slowly but steadily Hyundai might be preparing to write off this year and concentrate on next years' car development?
Soon we´ll have Suninen on podium... :) :)
4?Quote:

Meanwhile Ostberg has almost caught up to Huttunen.
I´d like the heli to take a close look at the place where he hit the wheel...
Again, it looked like he just followed the line. There were marks from other cars which he followed...
Really awkward interview with Adamo there I thought. Poor guy, media loves to jump at him as soon things go wrong because he's known for his temper.
Although I think Adamo handled it well...Quote:

No answer to resent post.
We know Huttunen and Ostberg are fast. But what about Marco Bulacia? He´s done very good for a long time and have a stunning development curve.
Now over and out for today. Have to be polite to my wife... It´s Saturday after all... ;)
Yes but only 4 of them haven't gone into Super-Rally.Quote:

I saw in his reaction, he was holding himself from saying anything offensive to them, although he did say and I quote:'I'm sure you did better questions in your life' . They need to work on their commentary in-between and during stages but that's off topic and for the WRC+ thread.Quote:

Making those "we have seen everything like you have seen in All-Live" is a bit waste of time. But it's question of taste, some may like it.Quote:

Was out on stages of a local rally whole day (and saw Henning Solberg who btw. was the first guy to run to help when a Polo R5 rolled). Was only following results and watched just some vids now.
Ogier is just amazing, even without Tanak's retirement he would have ended 2nd on a sweeping rally from first on the road. That's almost VW-like dominance.
Tanak's list of retirements and issues is now so long that it certainly isn't just "bad luck". Whether it is due to how he develops the car, how he sets-up the car or how he drives it is hard to tell. Probably a bit of all. One thing that is clear to see is that both at Toyota and Hyundai he made the car "dive" and transfer weight with roll much more than before and much more than others did. Anyway I don't remember him having many issues in 2017 Fiesta which he also helped develop.
In either case the statistics are quite large now.. Similarly Neuville has a long list of retirements, but for him it's basically almost always clearly his fault.
Rare mistake from Sordo, can't even remember last time he crashed out that was clearly his fault, probably Spain 2017 and Germany 2017 or something like that.
Disappointment of the rally is Neuville though, was 2nd last year on a rally that usually suits Hyundai and is somewhat nowhere. Reminds a bit of his 2019 performance here.
In addition to these 3, Loubet's Hyundai broke like every second stage?
------
Huttunen staying close to Østberg (with penalty) in a private-run I20 in basically his first rally of the year without any testing (afaik) is great. Likely won't be able to hold him off and wouldn't want to risk it, but nevertheless great. Especially compared with the Hyundai "factory" R5s results so far this season.

Quite funny at the friday revue at wrc+, the reporter ask neuville why Hyundai is so strong at Sardinia, he answers "why are the others so weak her"
Oh, the irony....

Either way, very like long time ago indeed.
Thx, "ages" still.Quote:
