Great win by Loeb, he's just that amazing. Great rally by Ogier, now he leads and will have to sweep in Australia. I think to get the championship Neuville will need a perfect rally in Australia.

Looking at the PS, if Sordo would get a 10 seconds time penalty now, would it affect the PS times and drop him behind Neuville, so making Neuville gain 1 point? Just theoretical question, I don't think they'd do it.

So? Tanak was consistently quickest this year. Neuville made the same mistake as last year of not capitalizing on Ogier's misfortune and now he's got himself into this situation he didn't have to get into.

He relaxed and now he's paying the price.

If you win a championship you deserve it. Nuff said

Considering how unlucky has Ott been last two rallies, still not too bad for him .. by far the fastest driver in the world

Sordo would have to retire or be disqualified to drop his points now, 10s time penalty would be added to his overall time, not stage time.

I don't think Hyundai wants to give up on those points he brings for the manu champ.

If you mean now, after the stage, then the answer is no. But had he jump started or done anything else worth a time penalty during the stage, then yes as per Art 13.3.4.

What a rally, What a living Legend, 6 years after his last visit here,only doing 3 events this year...hats off, congrats to Loeb & Elena, and a very well deserved win for Citroen who really needed this after a year of drought....Shame Breen couldn't get it right this time, hopefully better luck next time in Australia. Imho, Ogier will take the title down under, he has the psychological advantage knowing he's done it 5 times before and won Australia 4 times before being 1st on the road, but just as Neuviile said last time out in GB, it won't be over until they cross the finish line in Coffs Harbour.

Actually saw the rock now on WRC+ and it was there before Evans passed through...Evans avoided it nicely.
