Meeke : I couldn´t see anything, this is stupid, Jari (Latvala) covered my windscreen 3 times (when JML was at inside line).
Steering problems for @JuhoWRC this afternoon. The blue tape at the top is when the wheels are straight!

No overnight rain yet..but it is on its way and should arrive just before (maybe an hour) the first stage goes live. Heavy rain again expected.
SUN 08:51 - SS22: TACTICS?
Going back to Thierry Neuville, the Belgian suggested that Kubica's alternator problem that slotted the Pole into the start order directly in front of him might have more to do with tactics than a mechanical issue. A place lower in the running order in worse conditions could help Hirvonen in their fight for third was his thinking......
Neuville 6:55.0: "Nice strategy from M-Sport for putting an extra car in front of me, unfortunately for them I get a cleaner line"
Both Wilson and Matton were present in service park, Wilson visiting all his customers at least for a short chat.
TYRE NEWS - all Michelin WRC drivers with 5 soft Latitude Cross, except Meeke with 6 @michelin_sport
again Ogier going to win
Hänninen fast off the line...Hirvonen doesn't comment at the stage end
SS22 Hirvonen: Many small mistakes, I was many times too wide and off the road.
Sums up his rally and he is getting slower these days not faster... :(
I hope Hirvonen will be replaced by Tanak for next year. He is finished.
Sorry, I am a little out of touch... Since when did Ola Floene replace Mikko Markula alongside Mikkelssen?
Is this permanent and does this explain Andreas' upturn in form here?
