The comments here regarding Neuville are like you all really cheer hard for him to bin it completely.
Neuville said this after SS1: "The gameplan is to get through the rally on a decent rhythm and enjoy it. We all hope to claim the title this weekend, but we have to see how the weekend goes."
He's the only one of the 4 title contenders who didn't say he's going to push hard for the win. But I didn't see today's stages, did it look like he was going flat out?
Looks like he has damage going by the shape of the wheelQuote:

Blablabla about manu's title.. maybe a million? +-2 would be in the game. But Ffs I wouldn't sacrifice my own WDC for some pointless trophy (sry, but the wrc manu trophy is pointless).
I would imagine that's his thinking as well. Hopefully he won't be talked into pushing and taking many risks for the manufacturer title. Beating Tanak is already not a walk in the park and will require some pace.Quote:

Strange since he very rarely crashes otherwise.
Interesting comment from Mikkelsen about finally finding confidence and fun in the car after abandoning attempts to copy Neuville's or Tänak's setups.

Very lucky to escaped the way he did, could’ve been a DNF right there and then.Quote:
