Dont take seriously Rallyper big expectations.

Don´t mix things up Dimitri. What do you expect him to do? Be serious thank you.

This is more spot on. My expectation are quite more positive than yours always negative. Pls be at least honest to yourself Dimitri.

Camili could maybe be in that category of drivers as well if he continue to develop in the same way.

...and for Bergkvist to count himself to that category he needs to up his pace or he will be another Østberg

Be another Ostberg? Yes that´s good. He has more podiums than all of the youngsters put togehter, so that´s fine to me.

Nice Videos and Pictures alltogether, but a pitty to see that spectators are still on very dangerous places.
Unfortunately probably just a matter of time until something goes horribly wrong.

Thanks, I was reffering to Lappi's comment that Pontus likely hit a bank in a tight junction (which is a also a possible reason for ball joint failure).

Emil is a good talent, and would fare better in another car.
I am usually VERY reserved when it comes to putting good and bad times down to the machinery, but his R5 has a very clear deficit compared to the top cars, and in Poland it is a lot of drag racing.
But if he is going to deliver, he has somethings in his driving he needs to work on - but definetly a talent (and yes, his showing in an R2 is very relevant for his driving in an R5 or even a WRC car, ref Ogier and Loeb.)
