GPS problem for Atkinson :confused:
Mads retires!
Ostberg to retire due to technical problems... I canīt believe it...!!!!
Noooooooooo Mads out... gutted. :bigcry:
Disaster for Mads and the team. The clutch isn't the problem, but an electrical issue means that car 4 will not reach SS15 & has to retire... :(
Mads did not deserve this :( ... Mikko lucks in again....
What is Armin Kremer's problem in SS14 please?
WT
OOOh nnoooo! Was really looking forward to Mads pushing on, I don't really think Mikko was any threat today, so disappointing for us all, the team but especially for Mads who was doing so well.
Oh dear, so sad.
This is a real pity for Mads after such a great run. I truly wish him better luck in the future. Someone said here earlier that everybody make their own luck - I think Hirvonen's is making the most out of it now ;)Quote:

Lesson of day, talent is not enough to be rally driver!
On top of that disaster we have no splits on wrc.com...
Edit: My fault. Wrong page...
Talent comes first, then luck follows over time.Quote:

Neuville in big trouble ??? :eek:
It seems We'll have 2 Citroens on the podium. Could you bet on that yesterday
Latvala starts 7th after all as yesterday
he's late at start
It's rallies like these that might eventually give Citroën the edge over VW in the manufacturers championship. I have a feeling we are going to get a split championship result this year with the drivers' title to Ogier and the Manu-title to Citroën...Quote:

Agreed on both points.Quote:

Αt Argentina you will see how wrong you are. ;)Quote:

Ogier: "I'm really really not pushing"
but he smashes everyone in every SS...

That was not tipical for Ford before - looks MWilson adopting the tech level of the cars to the lower budget
Hope Mads foot OK for tomorrow, as well as car!
lolol
Ostberg was so frustrated that he kicked the Fiesta RS, injuring his right foot.
“When I retired I was very angry so I kicked the car. The pain is quite big. We will work on that this afternoon and hopefully the foot should be OK to restart tomorrow,” he added.

He's the man now:
