Smart driving, the finish line is still very very far away....Tipical Hirvo's way of driving & scoring points. He will not risk anything, especially on the first day.

Henning's bad luck continues...

Henning no brakes...

Problems for Henning, again, is it realy the car?

Henning saying there is something wrong again witrh the car, suddenly no more brakes. It is strange that it is allways his Fiesta that hits trouble, maybe it was better investment for "Go Fast Energy" to sponsor the Prodrive Mini instead of Wilslow and Henning.

I think it,s beacouse the breaks are overheating and when they are overheating then theres no brakes.

What a coincidence, Henning has no brakes whereas Matthew has too much brakes.

He always seem to have break problems on tarmac - could it be related to his driving style on tarmac?

Ok time from Campana compared with his two tarmac rallies last year in Germany and France

good time for campana

So what you think? Ofcourse it's related to his driving style.

So Delecour has tyres for the next stage, lets see if his friends in the mountains are correct!

Is this Hennings car: Is it V or U on the reg plate?

Who continues in his comfort zone is Armindo.

Yesterday their press release said he was already going strong in Monte Carlo.

I do not believe that, they are all pushing. so if henning overheats his brakes, latvalla en petter should have the same problem.

besides that, I don't even believe it is possible to overheat the brakes on a modern wrc car.

Too much left foot braking.

neuville is improving :D

more than a minute faster than this morning.

Thierry Neuville fifth fastest! :)

So, when are we gone see Hirvonen replaced by Neuville? Next rally?

Just said it because there was a tendency to blame the car rather than the driver

If you look at footage of Henning his brakes are always glowing orange (same colour as the car in previous season!!), and looking at in-car footage he always seems to cover the brakes more. Every time I saw him on WRGB this year the brakes were looking rather hot, front and rear, and looking through some old photos it was the same story. I think these overheating issues are due to Hennings (braking) heavy feet.

Good time by Neuville...he starts to realise this is not IRC anymore.

Ogier faster than Tanak again...

Very reasonable time for Thierry Neuville, improving a lot compared to first pass, let's not forget it is his first rally in WRC car.

Hirvonen has reported break-problems with his DS3...

Yeah, too much breaking.

Puncture for Arzeno...

Cook is probably out or she has not finished yet...

3 minutes was enough i think....right ?

Is Nombre trying to be that slow ? or is his natural ability ?

Please keep us informed about this driver as well along with the Al Rajhils and the rest...we need him in a WRC car so we can see him on the stages.

The future is apparently ready for the youth, what will the elders do with their future?

Lol. What exactly would it take for you to respect drivers from the so-called "ladycup" more? Within three stages Neuville is trading stage times with guys who have been doing this for years and is 0.25 s/km slower than a mulitple world champion in the same car.

I predict a similar sort of trajectory to Neuville's career that Ogier has had.

it is possible,specially in Monte with pads can work at low temps.

I think "denkimi" has never driven a car or certainly not a fast car.

I'm really surprised with the result of Thierry Neuville.

A quick question to the Dutch. Is it correct that it's Van Merksteijn Senior in Monte Carlo and it will be Junior i Sweden?
