It's great champion words.

Ogier's speed is doing the big clean for those at the front of the rally.

Tanak on a flyer again... really the fastest out there in the second half of the championship. Next year can be an absolute domination.

Not like he has much of an option at this point does he? Staying in 5th position certainly won't make him champion.

Get in Ott!

Lappi, like the rest, finally happy with his car.

Tanak with Toyota is very strong combo , but Hyundai and Citroen(espec.) will work even harder to catch up.

Throttle sticking for Craig. Unfortunate for him

Ott gets really close with this stage, could lead after next one

Ott can still win this by a mile, he is clearly the fastest driver of 2018 that 15secs or so is nothing in his current form.

Edit: more like 5secs after stage 10 :D

It's time Ostberg to make a room for some wrc drivers.

thats what im hoping for. although Ogier would only need 2 power stage points then

but the usual form is that some guys from front will fall out, Breen already having problems

And in the power stage if/when Tanak wins that, he also has his two team mates who have been faster than Ogier all weekend too. Ogier could be scrambling around for 1 or 2pts on the power stage with the likes of Paddon, Neuville, Ostberg etc all fast here too.....

Tell that to the tree that grew up there, there's a stump just behind it

who would be crowned champion in case Ogier and Ott have same points?
Tanak because 5 victories versus 4 for Ogier
Ogier because first win of the year (MC)

Tänak because of more wins

Yes

I hope Toyota won't do any "M-Sport-style team order" at least today and they will let JML to fight for the win eventhough Ott is back in the battle.

As an Ott fan, I hope the same.

Well, in interviews Budar is quite pleasant to hear. I'd even say the best of the teamleaders atm.

I really believe that Tanak has realistic chance of winning the title.
In pure speed i think he can win this rally and the power stage, getting a total of maximum 30 points.

On the other hand, speed-road position wise, Ogier in unlikely to end up higher than 7th. That means we will have to take 4th place in power stage in order to get an overall of 8 points that will give him the title, because in case of equal points with Tanak, the Estonian has more wins.

Yes, anyone can get into troube, this possibility is high, but if all have trouble free runs, Tanak is not that far from the title.

Neuville had a big moment and ran wide. Unclear if there's any damage, he keeps talking to his co driver but I'm not sure if it's just pacenotes changes, or they've picked up a little damage. Seems to be driving ok but a bit wild

evans finally waking up

The wheel didn't look quite straight.

Neuville had massive toe in right rear. Commentary think everything looks fine... :rolleyes:
