I fancied Neuville before the rally and he's proving me right. He's been fast here many times and won many stages so a win was likely eventually. Plus with others all in new cars it was a even better chance.

He should have won in 2017. So indeed it was a matter of time. Last year he lost it with that small off to the side-road.
Only one not to change cars surely helped.

Neuville has won half of the stages in the rally https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...229a113713.jpg

That 2017 year with Ogier in one team makes from crashing Ott ver1.0 - to a WDC Ott ver2.0, cuz he start driving as it feels. It's Ogier approach. But now 3rd season without Ogier in one team Ott starts to downgrading to 1.0 version. He want a prove that in new team he still fast and start overdriving own limits - and crash. Ogier know that and never overdrove own limits.
Ogier feel 96% → push 96% → got P3
Tanak feel 96% → push 98% → got crash and 0 pts. Simple as that.
I know for you it's unpleasant to read cuz Ott national hero, but Ott should try play long game as Ogier did. So far Ogier smarter than Ott.

what are you talking? 3 stages in a new car, admits the mistake and now from your words, he can't drive anymore?

what about Ogier's Sardegna attempt to break the huge stone or stuck in snow in Sweden? alao downgrading?

When it's a new car, when it's only 4th stage - NOT PUSH MAXIMUM! Lose time, get confidence, when get-in - start to push. You all blaming Ogier that he slow and not overdrive own limits. And he's bad. Ott that push 100% with new car and crash got all right? And he's good?
You need check a standings table 2 hrs later to clarify ;)

we can never know, what would have happened to others if they weren't warned by fans.. Teemu went before Tänak and had a moment there.. If Neuville and Ogier had passed the place with their right speed, there might have happened something bad also.

You never think that Teemu push little bit less than Ott? 1-2kph - make huge difference everywhere. From that bumps, to icy sections

Any links for the powerstage?

Any guesses for Ogier winning that PS and taking off second place from Evans? Probably Toyota has already told Evans before the last one to give his place to Ogier...

Adamo before Monte:
"We have the best car, but we also need the best drivers" (when asked about lineup)

Adamo right now:
"In certain situations it was more Thiery and Nicolas than our car keepig us in the fight"

can't compare last years to 2020.. I bet that with 6x WDC it's can be a bit different. I think if Evans was 1st, then it wouldn't have happened, but with Evans being 2nd and Ogier 3rd, it may happen.

Evans suddenly slower from Lappi.....

With Loeb ending behind Lappi I am sure there will be some complains to FIA about the legality of MSports front grille modification.

Poor rally from Suninen, can do much better.

He actually got 8 out of it, which is somewhat amazing given what happened on first two stages and his speed rest of the weekend.

We made a choice with the team this morning by betting on the rain ... It did not come

So, we killed our tires from the first ... Our goal is clearly to reach the finish now and to score points for @HMSGOfficial
