Huyndai is having a bad rally, suspension is not suitable for these conditions on finnish roads, nothing they can do about right now.Quote:

Sordo close call

If Latavala wins Power stage and the rally, then the championship will look like this
1. Ogier 160
2. Neuville 155
3. Latvala 142
So JML might have a shot to the tittle too

Seems to me we are at the same spot.Quote:

#WRC At the moment TOP Record SPEED average in #RallyFinland not beaten ... Meeke for example 126.6 in 2016 .. And JML get 125.8 after SS16
Agree, hard to see him finishing any better than 5th.Quote:

Sat 12:15 - SS17: Neuville
What can you do in service to improve the car? "Nothing." Ouch.
Sat 12:13 - SS17: Meeke
How is the steering issue? "Not significant compared to the other things we need to look at. It's not interesting for me at the moment. We have to continue to try to work. Difficult at the moment."

Shockingly poor the Hyundai's here is so strange and shows how deceptive the PET & SD video's can be.
Citroens still with big issues despite the new parts. Breen doing his best but that car is just not right and that must be horrible on these roads.
Wrong. During testing and even on shakedown one only knows how good one's own car is, not how good the opposition is. Hyundai is a good car but Ford and Toyota just are better here.Quote:

This affects Tanak's speed today. Citroen clearly still has issues, specially when the grip is low (today morning with damp). The big difference is that last year the road order on Saturday was same as on Friday, so Breen and other late starters benefited from that.
Quality is fine but you should have rotated the phone.Quote:

Neuville needs to have the upper hand going into the last rallies of the year. if he wants to have a realistic chance clinching that title from Mr. Ogier.Quote:

As points go there are 120 points to play for...not 100 and that will make a difference at the end. If you want to become champion you need to know how to capitalize on your rivals misfortunes, this is why Ogier is champ for the past 4 years, even last year when he 'only' won 6 events he still finished on podium when others failed. Even this year look, Neuviile has 3 wins to Ogier's 2, now I know that the 2 DNF in the opening rounds have hurt him, but Ogier knew how to finish at least at the top 5 so he won't lose too much ground to his rivals.
Btw Latvala is really impressive, again I know the rally isn't finished, not even close, and I know they are based here. However, if he manages to keep it to the end he will capitalize on Ogier's situation, unlike Neuviile who's is only making inwards to Ogier's lead.
Neuville has won in Germany, it was his first win, back in 2014.Quote:

Championship is going to be decided on a retirement for one of both drivers I think.
Oh right, I forgot, thanks for reminding me, yeah it was his first win right? silly me. Sorry my bad, yes it will be tight there but it would help had Neuville's gone in there with the championship lead in hand. I think you're right, it will probably be decided on a retirement for one of both drivers, hopefully it won't be as harsh for them as it was for Gronholm back in Ireland 2007.Quote:

Read my post again - I said the PET & SD video's were deceptive.Quote:

As the someone said recently - its all very well having good road position but you still need to have the ability to drive at the speed to take advantage.Quote:

You are by far the most sad boy here in the forum. What a waste of time you are, like many people saying; best to ignore you but sometimes i can't.
Same car movement as Meeke in Sweden and Meeke at Sardegna. But now speed isn't to high and quite big junction to runover.Quote:

That's all Citroen technicians team should fuckup and go away!
We know that you are a Meeke hater.And we are TIRED to listen you about him.Quote:
