What I think he is doing is just trying to re establish his own value in the team. He must have lost confidence after being dropped for Poland and now he is here trying to regain that confidence. He's nowhere near the pace he was last year and he's putting that down to the car. Ok, Craig is doing well so the car can't be that bad in Finland but Kris is of course going to place the blame on it after the last few weeks.

Please stop your hateness about Meeke,we ALL have been tired.

Nope Breen being on podium consistently over more stages for first time this year is nothing to mention.

I see you live in binary world 1 = fixed, 0 = not fixed. In real world things are not like that. What I am getting tired off is the "C3 is totally broken" after every second stage.

For Meeke's performance I only have praise so far, tested in wet with changed car and now doesn't push 100% if he doesn't feel well in the car. Does not need other people blaming broken car as excuses.

.

its not broken,its not setup/fixed properly.
Breens standarts are different from Meekes.Thats why we are all ok with Breens performance even with ill car,but not with Meeke.

Jari Huttunen, a guy with near zero experience who is doing his first JERC season being among the fastest 2WD drivers anywhere he goes and doing his second event ever in 4WD and in the same time leading WRC2.

Last week he won 2WD in an event of Austrian championship (and Central European Zone) by one minute while it was his first start in Austria. Next week he is doing ERC Rzeszow and after that Barum. Both in works Opel Adam.

Huttunen, Lappi, Suninen and soon Rovanpera. I see a bright future for our finnish friends.

Most likely coms. For security you'd use a helicopter.

Likely data transmission for TV. The rally area is too large to be covered from low flying helicopters.

what about team orders from Makkinen?
Will he must allow Lappi to push Latvala? Or he must secure a 1-2 for Toyota, and keep alive championship hopes for Latvala?

Tough choice. But a bad move to rein in Lappi in his home rally I think. I know they are all out watching the rally but I'd be interested to know what the Finns think?

Lets see if neuville wakes up... he has to now that Ogier is out.

As a Finn I would say Tommi will let them fight. But at this point too early to worry about team orders. Anything can still happen and the main thing is to drive away from the competition.

imho he hasn't got to push if he is not at a good day with good feeling.
5th position has 10 points,and his gap to Ogier is 11 points.
its like to start the championship again,and till now from what we ve seen ,if the championship started just now,seems he has better chances than Ogier.
He must not through to wastebasket this chance.

because ''everything can happen'' I would secure the 1-2 for Toyota and keep alive Latvala chances.

Yes but that 5th is 20 second away and the guys infront are previous winners or people with experience on the event so he has to take risks... plus ogier will have a chance to get 5 points in the power stage sine it will be all or nothing for him... so neuville must wake up

My first time spectating a rally in 15 years, on Jukojärvi 1...wow, these new cars are awesome. Managed to see Ogier before his crash. Tänak seemed to already have problems turning to a junction and Paddon had already stopped before the place. Suninen went quite wide in the junction, basically went to the ditch rear end first but managed without bigger issues.

Latvala and Lappi and Suninen doing a great job, what a great rally, although shame about the retirements.

There is no reason for team orders at Toyota until the last stage before PS. If Lappi leads Latvala by then, they are likely, but I doubt that. Tomorrow there won't be any roadposition difference anymore.

Gus Greensmith also putting in very impressive times - using Tom Cave as a yardstick he has improved massively in the last 12 months.

Onboards from Ogier and Paddon's issues on SS4 are included in the official stage highlights vid on WRC webpage.

Ogier does not show much cause it starts half-way trough the corner.
Paddon is relatively innocent mistake (kinda like Lappi in Poland).

EDIT: Paddon is now on WRC+, first corner of the stage.
