Maybe it's "I don't know how much I'm allowed to say/criticize before I get fined" in relation to Ogier's fine in Acropolis.

Not happy at all watching the drivers cruise in virtual road mode.
This stage is supposed to be a shop window of sorts for WRC. Something needs fixing here. And you don't need to guess much!!!
Why the hell are the Softs the prime tyre here after last year?
There's potential for being a very interesting round. Ogier, Tanak and especially Evans have to push, but have to watch out for tyre wear. Kalle will of course push for the win. Neuville will probably play it defensive, but the big question is how much he'll lose from 1st on the road. Last year there was a lot of sweeping effect, and remembering Latvia, Neuville might lose a lot of points to his rivals even if he makes no mistakes.
Tanak explains his SD end comments:

First stage is live
Neuville almost out in first proper corner
Lot of banks on this stage and also very narrow at some places
Hello fellow rallyfans. Time to spectate. :)
Not so bad by Neuville, considering the cleaning, Ogier on a mission
Good rally to all.
Seems like Evans started 8 mins after Ogier, what is the reason?
Ogier all in:hot:
Stage neutralised because of spectators
Uh well roadmode it is then. Spectators in stupid spots.
Spectator`s safety.
Stage cancelled and Ogier cold like ice on stage interview.
Can’t wait for the 25 season already
Red flag. There's a section after a jump with fans literally on the side of the road on both sides in the landing area. It's taped off there too but surely that's not safe.
So, only 3 cars that used their tyres
What will happens with the times? All times will be cancelled? I mean massive win for others... There is already tire disadvantage for Tänak, Neuville and Ogier..and now also time difference.
What if FIA cancelled the stage just to let Ogi and Tän ruin tyres for nothing :D
Intresting to see notional times
Ogiers lips were sealed at the finishline... wonder why..? ;)
Cruising on shakedown, road mode for SS1, ... next? :)
That is what FIA make them do, isn'i it? Pitty for us as it is always nice to hear what they have to say after the stage.
Rather, it is their reaction to what FIA has done and in my opinion, somewhat justifiedly so. Swearing in press conference is a borderline case but Ogier's case in Acropolis is complete bollocks. When sport authorities enforce smiling policies to maintain sport's image, that sport is already lost cause.
i am completely on Ogiers and Tänaks side, right thing to do.
All cars , at least Rally 1, will get notional time of 10.09.6, the time of Neuville
Ogier's and Tanak's time remains, they pass rally 1 +10.5(Neuvile time) and rally 2 +40.9
Times will be revised after SS4, so they may change later.
Only Sesks have been treated unfairly +40,9
