Any other driver and they'd have lost 3 minutes, but he stays in contention - devil's own luck!Quote:

I think Lefebvre will be the #2 next year, and Ostberg has to do something big not to get the boot as well.Quote:

Tanak 'We have a problem with the windscreen heater, so you can imagine how challenging it is!' "Really difficult in the rain and we have a problem with the windscreen demister too - the screen is steaming up."
Maybe Meeke had similar problem with bad visibility ?
so Lappi & Lefebvre for Citroen Racing/DS next year?Quote:

Maybe he has reached his peak, but at least he delivers points to the team. He will have double the points of Kris after this one.Quote:

Lefebre can only be a very good laundry man for the underwear of real drivers... nothing more.Quote:

Lefevbre, we don't know about. I can't imagine he's ready, but he has opportunities coming up in WRC cars so he'll have to use them to show what he can do.
Ostberg is having a season like Hirvonen last year, quietly going about it but doing relatively very well in the championship. Another podium here, with Mikkelsen's non-finish and he continues to impress.
Also, in the predictions game, this is the first time I haven't put Lappi down for 8th since the beginning of his WRC2 campaign! That'll teach me...
Nikkara retired

I dont know whether to be disappointed at Meekes retirement, or to be relieved that he has finally ended the suspense of wondering which stage the inevitable would happen on :-(
Ogier's wheel

I want to be in Finland now, go to Latvala and slap him repeatedly.
Why?
Presumably for not performing like this enough all season. If he keeps it together then he's got the win. Can't see Ogier sacrificing a certain second place by going over the limit now.Quote:

Most of the time in Loeb's era it was reversed order for the first rally day according to championship order. In this system the leader cleaned only one day. This system was not perfect but back then road position was neutral for most of the rally.Quote:

Ogier should try this...
