Expect more in Sweden.

I think if Mads stopped going on about co-drivers and calling of notes and concentrate on driving, there's nothing as annoying as drivers moaning. Hopefully he'll just drive in Sweden.

Because of Latvala... maybe it's time to stop with this "VW Motorsport 2" / "Hyundai N Team" nonsense and have top two finishers from the manufacturer score.

Or drop Latvala. I hope he will do better as the year goes on but if Mikelssen outscores him this year I just don't see the point in keeping Latvala, especially when VW have some young guns they want to start to develop.

about wrc 2 also diffapointment except Evans and Kremer.Waiting more from young French inside their terrain.

Gilbert was not bad. Without puncture yesterday, he will be comfortably on second place. Also Bonato was doing good times and without his 10-mins off he should be on podium.

Usuall style of WRC coverage. Unfortunatelly that LIVE stage was again completely dry, so quite boring to watch as most of the drivers were driving mainly to finish the rally.

For me it is really pity, that most of the stages were completely dry. To be interesting Monte, there must be more changes of weather...

Yes it does, if tiebreaker is applied. Mid-season, however, doesn't require that as manu standings have no bearing on anything. For drivers' it would be applied to determine starting order.

Pluto inside their country,was waiting for more.Imho pace of Gibert was average,Bonato a little bit better for his experience.Ok Evans was a factory entry, and downsizing him from wrc is at a different league,but Kremer?

Remember Kremer lost also quite some time after puncture, and two spins. So Place two belongs well to the old man.
