350+ bhp on rear wheels and 0 at front is definitelly cornering disadvantage.

EDIT: on the other hand engine in the trunk helps the traction. Porsches are exciting to watch and listen, especially in the forests.

Had JML kept it together in Germany the Championship would now be wide open. Any conspiracy theorists believe VW are trying to manipulate a close finish for WDC? - It's not like they aren't into manipulation for end of competition excitement ;)

It's not cornering disadvantage at all (that's why all formula cars are RWD). It's only traction and handling disadvantage in specific rally conditions (changeable grip, bumpy surface etc.).

The fighting spirit must be between competitors, not in the cocpit in my opinion.It's normal human relationships, of course Ogier is angry and and he has the right to be but it's childish to say he made the mistake ask him as Ogier is faultless all the time.

Only Ogier is a king - all others servants

No, he is not faultless and admits it when the fault is his.
