Well, he's not mentally impaired like you, he has WDC title to take care of, you know.Quote:

Meeke now is driving like Slowson :(
Tanak leads..
As well as going for the WDC, Neuville is the only Hyundai with any chance of good points. Could be a great rally for M-Sport in the Manufacturers championship (1-3-5 atm) :D
Yeah it's almost settled that M-Sport will increase the lead. They'd need 2 drivers to drop behind Paddon not to.Quote:

Taking 10 seconds back on Tanak gives him 13 points over Neuville. Or will Malcolm ask Tanak to play the buffer between Ogier and Neuville when Mikkelsen drops out of the top 3? Interesting day ahead. Neuville doesn't look like a happy chappy. I hope nobody crashes on one of those super special stages again.
Still full dry forecast for Saturday and Sunday. I'd expect the speed differences to change a bit. Some drivers/cars seem to like dry more (Ogier, Sordo, C3) some a bit less (Toyota, Lappi, maybe Tanak).
Isn' too early while half a rally is still ahead of us???Quote:

After SS6, Kremer's protege is ahead of him. Good job, maybe a German driver with potential.
Of course it's too early, but don't you think that the drivers are calculating as well in this stage of the championship? Risk management and so forth.Quote:

Lost of a chunk of time
So everyone had an off today?
Basically yes
If you are only thinking about point then you lose the rally. Maybe that's what is wrong with Neuville. He has lost speed in last rallyes.Quote:

If everything stays the same after the next SSS, tomorrow will be an interesting day as usually in the Baumholder area Ogier shows his strength, and usually nobody is able to match him there. Thierry will need to play it safe this rally and remember not to crash because it seems on speed alone Neuviile won't win here...
Very lucky....Quote:

So, your sophisticated analyses assume that all other drivers will drop or have problems, and Ogier and Tanak will drive like a rock stars to the finish? You don't think that Mikkelsen has a real chance to win? You don't think Tanak or Ogier can end up in the bush? What a crap ......Quote:

Very slow time compared to previous passes.
Ogier lost plenty of time
Fri 18:48 - SS8: Neuville
He's been off and there is a big branch stuck in the rear spoiler. "It happened on a very dirty corner, it was worse than aquaplaning. Nothing I could do. Happy to be here - still a long way to go."
And we start another day from scratch :)
Looks like it, plus hard to know what orders he's under from Matton after SS1.Quote:

Well done Tänak, super performance today!
What just happened??? Ogier had a spin?
yes and actually Neuville went off also in one corner but his time is very good even considering that. Tänak got stuck in mud in one corner.Quote:
