That's way more dangerous than driving on one rim, so I kinda agreeQuote:

It's 0.56s/km to shut tomorrow, Kalle had 0.39 on Craig today. Kalle can continue as today but will need Craig to drop time which I don't think will happen.
First and second in Sweden is not worth fighting over.
I noticed the Pumas and i20s didn't have taillights in EV mode through Monaco on Thursday, I didn't see the Yaris. Found that odd, so this is just bizarre. Oliver needs a break but DQ is not what he deserves.Quote:

he looked hopeless on Thursday but his pace today showed just what a mature driver he is already. keeping it on the road when not at ease and pushing comfortable when the setup is right.Quote:

I found the Ogier vs Loeb tactics on last stage really interesting. Highlighting two points that actually overlapped each other here.
- Ogier is "obsessed" with Loeb and beating him. I think a lot of people still remember Mexico 2018 and we get this confirmed everytime they meet and Loeb is competetive.
- Ogier is a master at keeping focus on the important stuff. Here, only thing that mattered was pace vs Loeb. It didn't matter which tirechoice was best what mattered was that Loeb didn't get a chance to do a very different stagetime. That's why Ogier won so many close championships and that's what for example Evans lacked in Monza 2020.
He could or got to the technical/media zone in daylight. And then gone into service in the dark... Service is closed roads
you cant have such conclusions when the one is retired and 48 years old,straight after dakar,with new team/mechanics/car/gravel crew/co driver,with minimum test.Quote:

He just prooved why at his golden years didnt lost from anybody.
Neuville gets reprimand for hybrid rules breach
Use of his i20's internal combustion engine in a tire-fitting zone has drawn the ire of Monte stewards

Yet, Ogier got away with similar thing(which is totally fine at the moment).Quote:

Maybe first make the systems work correctly and rethink the timetables, because drivers need to be at TC on time.

Didn’t seem that hard TBHQuote:

Solberg retired. (Announced in All-live). Hyundai is just one step away from total disaster.
I couldn´t hear why that is?
Edit: Fumes from yesterday made them feel ill even today. Poisoning matter...
"Medical reasons"
The crew and the team agreed to retire as Oliver and Elliott are not feeling well due to the fumes issue that they experienced in the car in the past days. HMSG Official
Hopefully both are OK.
Disaster for Hyundai
In my land there's a saying: "Young people and green wood: all is smoke".
It's kind of "The Sunday Cruise" now. No actual intense fights. It's still Monte, anything may happen, but seems quite settled now.
Cmon Thierry, you can do it!
Bring it home
Strange they make the decision to retire Oliver after the first stage, instead of last night.
Gryazin is on different speed than he was in Polo last year.
The gap is big, but if Ogier manages to keep the lead, will M-Sport change Loeb-Breen places?
2nd or 3rd for Loeb doesn't really matter and Breen first on the road in Sweden anyway, but 3 extra points would be very useful for him.
Well... I'm starting to think, that mr Wuorela could be right afterall...
My apologies if anyone has already talked about this, but if Loeb can’t catch Ogier, surely it would make sense to drop him behind Breen for the Championship.
Also, you have to say despite driving very cautious, the rally has come Breens way and looks like a good start to the season for him.
Edit.
I see someone had the same thought as me!
Village team. 3 days in a row Oliver drive with exhaust gases in a car and it was "normal" And on final day, after all "fake-fixes" it became too dangerous ...
not really, they tried to fix the problem, but it reappeared on the stage, so they gave up.Quote:

If they're serious about letting Breen build a championship they have to. It's nonsensical to have Loeb in 2nd and Breen 3rd. It's not like they are denying Loeb a win or a podium....Quote:
