Neuville's suffering opening position and made a mistake. It will be tough for him until the end of the championship, Seb is the worse of the opponents you can have and you're going to pay the most little of mistakes.
Can You tell me something about him?Quote:

Suninen very lucky twice in a row. 2017 and 2018.
expect 4min late for Mikkelsen

"30 seconds in Finland, we know how difficult it is to get in. The gap may increase again this afternoon.The Tanak - Toyota package is on another planet right now. the teeth and limit the break as much as possible to see what can be done Saturday with, hopefully, a better position on the road.The error of Neuville? He has done well, he loses not much, we're 7th, it's not synonymous with very big points, we'll have to whip again.At our aero package, there is still work, I'm not sure it brings us an advantage For the moment, it's a gain in some places, but a loss in others, "said the Frenchman at our microphone this afternoon.

"It's always been difficult for us here, being first on the road really makes it difficult, the car is not fully developed and has never been competitive here, we knew it would be a tough weekend. In the 5th stage, there was a turn where the note was a bit too optimistic, I wanted to correct it, but there was a trap right after that. note and I got myself, "said the 30-year-old driver to our colleague Olivier Gaspard, RTBF special correspondent in Finland.
"I do not know what is missing from the car ... but it's missing something anyway! I think we'll still suffer, especially in the 6th special because there is a lot of sweeping. It will be a little better, it is necessary that all the other drivers remain in front of Ogier and take the big points, so we minimize the difference with respect to him, "concluded our compatriot.

Finnish Gr. N champion last year, first R5 event in the last Finnish Championship event last year and he won the rally. Leading Finnish Championship with a big margin this year. A great talent it seems. Like someone said before, rallied nationally for years, and has developed a lot. This is his first ever WRC eventQuote:

Great time by Ostberg!
battle
Good performance from Citroen! If that would be Meeke, you could think he is pushing like crazy, but now it's Ostberg, so it makes you think the car is really good!
all crews problems with dust.
Good cam position on Suninens car, to see how much the suspension is working in Finland.
if they have same pos on Ogiers, maybe we can spot differences in a split window?
Østberg in a good mood. Long time since last time!
Just keep it up Mads do not adjust a thing in service!!!!
1,2 secs between third and fifth, so another battle there aswellQuote:

OC Veiby. It has even taken out the brake caliper behind the wheel :O
He was lucky to get back out of the ditch with only that damage I though, it was a bit hairy there.
Let's see what the others do here against Tanak... were they asleep this morning...
Nope, Tanak again blitzing Neuville...
Lappi will soon pass Ogier and Evans will give him his place.
Tanak was 8 seconds faster than this morning....
Latvala admits he cant beat Tanak nowadays.
