Horrible start at Hyundai for Ott
Really didn’t like that at all.
Neuville was much slower there..., or was he slowed a little by spectators?
Damn, I was just off the screen and I can't rewind the stream
It's huge, very high speedQuote:

i dont even remember when was the last time he had a crash, a while ago
ANtti this was this new mega fast place if i am right?
E:Neuvilel also sayin he is struggling
Onboard of the crash: https://twitter.com/SebLoebMLDC/stat...34796482793472
Neuville did slow down a lot. Also saying he struggled a bit with the handling of the car
So glad they’re out. Shaking watching that.
Attachment 1915 ~164km/h off into what seemed like cart-wheeling, nose to back. Massive.
man so little margins, just a tad too fastQuote:

Enter the lead! Elfyn doing what we expected from him.
look at 5.49, is this the compression Ogier was talking about? lifts the car a little and therefore goes too wide to the rightQuote:

Seemed like that compression unsettled the car, then it was all over. To me at least probably a tough one to spot at reccy speed.
Super happy about him doing so wellQuote:

Genuine concern from Ogier. The longer time goes on the more I like him, in the VW years I'll admit I wasn't a fan.Quote:

Wonder if Evans is ahead of Ogier after the finish if there's any team orders in place from Tommi?
Superb start this from Evans, loving it
crew reported okay, they were talking while rolling, lolQuote:

Isn't the tech amazing? Live streamed from a car as it's being smashed to bits.
those are the things i'm scared off driving myself. i get the chills just seeing it.Quote:

Not promising for this season.
Holy shitQuote:

i would say the aftermath was bigger than the mistake, just little too fast there but consequenses were big.
if there would have been something solid like rocks or big threes there, they would have died.Quote:

Awesome morning by Elfyn Evans
