+1 Moreover Loeb still shows he can win with the "underdog". He won 2 of 3 events he took part in this year.Quote:

Still not mediocre drivers, would you say?
Mediocre drivers in WRC to me is Nasser, Prokop, Qassimi, Hanninen, Atko, Ketomaa etz.
[quote="miniwintz"]It's a bit of a bold statement to say that the VW is a better car. When Loeb was winning, people said the Citroën was the best, now with Ogier people go the same with VW. quote]
We´ll get the right answer after France. I do think VW Polo WRC -13 is a better car than Citroen -13. However Citroen -11, -12 was best car at that time (no, Polo on the stage at that time)
as you said we'll get that answer in Alsace-will be very intersting...
IMO Loeb will have difficulties to keep up with his rival, but not necessarily because the Citroën is or isn't inferior but because he's been on holidays for 6 months...
Whatever happens, I think skill of the drivers is much more prevalent than performance of the car in the final classification. Differences between the cars must be incredibly small.
this is the part the has me wonderingQuote:

as said above, the same thing was said of Seb L/Citroen combination in the past
yet as mirek pointed out, Seb L was able to win 2 out of 3 rounds in the citroen, and challenge very strongly in sweden when he came second (not really his preferred event).
Seb L and Seb O seem to compete very closely wherever and what ever they drive---always pushing each other
I think its quite "easy"! Seb 1&2 has the abillity to get into the car, get the most of it. They can explain and understand the car better than the rest, and can explain the team around what they wan't. The whole package is best. And they have both the ekstra speed they can use that the others ses not to have. Neuville has something going on, some of the others get some grips sometimes. Jml probably struggle to get the fealing he needs, same with Mads, mikko and dani. And they probably fails to explain what they miss also.
possibly road position as well will affect Seb LQuote:
