But the Ogier game should now be over, so we may see the two-face slip back into old form and praise Loeb during the last rallies of his career. The snake will not miss a spot in the sun when plan A failed.

:D :D :D
Congrats to Loeb for reminding to everybody the reason he has 7 world championships.
I couldn t follow all days cause of vacations,but big thanks to Tolis for keeping me informed by mobile and sms.
Also big dissapointments from Finland rally.
Minis are just bit faster than s2000 and not always.Sure they have a lot of work to do if they are serious about wrc.
Impressive Tanak and Ketomaa,but as i saw next days was probably by the clean road.
very good result for Hanninen being calm also when Tanak was faster.They are not a lot of drivers that they can manage something like this.
About Mikko....he is always fast after he f!@# up everything.But this is not getting to be champion.Being in the road while fast is the way.
About Latvala i was waiting to be faster in his home-rally.Too many quotes from ford drivers about no steady rear part of the car.Wondering what they were doing for 4 days...they were extremely happy after their testing.
Its a pitty that championship finished so quickly...
I agree, the championship is over for Ogier, if he had win here then he might just be in a good position, as there was two more gravel rally's, and I think he will surprise in tarmac this year. Now, I think he should focus on manufacter and second place in standings.
Congrats to Loeb, good win, especially when the rest wanted to play tactics, here is not big difference if first or third on road, if any. Ogier migth be next foreinger to win here, any others are not in sight sofar.
He don't need an excuse. even if i'm a citroen fan, fords problem seems to be the drivers and.not the car.Quote:

I think Ford are going to be pretty disappointed with this event. If they can't even win in Finland...Quote:

When do Mikko and JMLs contracts run to?
Given that Ford is not even committed to next year, I can't imagine they have contracts with drivers!Quote:

Ogier.. 2009.. First time in WRC car ... Leustu..
http://www.ewrc-results.com/results_mai ... stage=6785
Finished +4min off lead
Meeke got within 0.5s/km off Hirvonen (fastest man) on new stages yesterday evening, when he was flat out.
Sordo set some good times today, on stages to know
Armchair critics that can even be bothered to some research.
Conclusion is that Meeke seemed keen to get the the finish of the rally, and the mini still needs some work, but has sound principles.
Germany will be better for Mini. We know how tight Sordo pushed Loeb, and Meeke has good pace there.
Latvalas own fault, he hesitated with changing set-up, and when he did it was far too late.Quote:
