You have 48 hours when You are allowed to drive without licence in Sweden as I understand.

Forgot to add ...

Well done mr. Wilson for respecting your clients and allowing Ostberg to get 2nd place . I didn't expect that from you , but you have raised a lot in my eyes :) Bravo !

Also , congratulations to the hero of the rally , Mads Ostberg !! ( my girl says he's cute :) )

Why does the WRC write such a strange thing??

"Key moment:
Historic Power Stage victory for Ogier as Hirvonen wins rally."

I'd rather say it's a show-off PS victory for Ogier, and a HISTORIC rally win for Hirvonen - the first one to take victory in a new generation car!

It was a good start to the new era of the WRC. Congratulations for Mikko but even bigger congrats for Mads for his 2nd place finish! I think he handled the situation very well this weekend and hope this is a sign for even better result in near future.

Anyone?

Did Loeb reach service?

I think that was really awkward. Here in Brazil, if you have your driver's license suspended then immediately you aren't allowed to drive anymore. If in Sweden you can still drive for more 48 hours, then why don't let him drive for 48 hours and fifteen minutes?

I'm still thinking it's really strange....maybe with this he secured the rest of the budget that was missing for the whole season.

So: petter lost his license 48h hours ago, and that's why he is not allowed to drive car in Sweden (not even on SS? closed road section?)
Is he allowed to be in co-driver thus? Because in Finland it's not allowed to be co-driver without the license...Just wondering what gonna happen...

If I have understand the rules correctly Chris wasn't allowed to drive the car on SS and that they both in the car need drivers licens.

It looks like Petter isn't getting any points because of this.

He would need 2 hours, not 15 minutes.
