I was right about what broke on Paddon's car, not a big hit it seemed like so guess they will make it stronger

Juho very slow, if he continues like that Ogier will take him
Juho almost 4s/km slower. Pick it up man
Latvala stalled.
I hope EstWRC is not listening to the rally radio :D

"We have found the right set up now and the car is really easy to handle. I struggled here last year [in an R5 car] especially on the second pass." Should we bet €5 on a Lappi Power Stage win? "No, €20."
Yes.. time all back for Tanak after Latvala's stall.
Good to see that Ott in good mood now and all weekend. Never see him being so high.
Steering problem returning for Juho.Quote:

I'd guess it's the WRC TV crew drone as it's DJI Inspire model. Maybe Matt or someone else can confirm.
Any report about Latvala's request for getting time back yesterday ?
Power Stage betting will be interesting. Difficult to say if it was an advantage to run first, since both Latvala and Tanak had issues (stall and dust inside cockpit). PS could yield a surprise.Quote:

Sounds like it didn't even touch but still they should keep some distance before they ruin someones rally. It's complicated to give time back if you destroy windscreen in the first stage of the loop for example. :evil:
Juho only 10 sec down. Keep going!
Wow yeah. From the image I assumed there was some perspective trick and the drone was further away. But you can clearly see there would probably have been a collision if the operator didn't quickly send the drone skywards. Not good.
5.6 gap to PowerStage :( And Ogier will get it
Piloting the drone like that is disrespectful against the drivers. Not very safe.
"Factory" Fords are the only cars without issues this weekend.
Hyundai with brakes for Neuville and turbo for Sordo.
Citroen with diff/FWD for Mikkelsen and also for Breen I think.
Toyota with brakes overheating (same as Mexico) and 2x steering for Juho.
Not good, the last stage is very twisty, without power steering no chance even when it is short.Quote:

Top job again Ott... one to go !
Paddon joins the ranks of Meeke and Hanninen who manage to crash out twice per rally.
A detail there though, since the stage is paused and they do a regroup before PS, this can delay everything.
EDIT: Looks like they then opt to cancel it to keep the schedule.
Is power stage live?

But it was re-group after stage. 45 min. They could resume this stageQuote:

Paddon's car is blocking the road. Breen and the drivers behind him are held at the start.
Breen and co. reverse and back directly to regroup
Sure that's good PR for rally to show Webber and Biasion? driving a Delta without seatbelts?
Red Bull doesn't like this

Ouch was a nasty hit that for Paddon !
Paddon with exactly same mistake again, turn-in too early. That's at least 3rd time this season.
