Rovanpera Jr seems to be using in ear plugs headset that is popular among circuit drivers. Other WRC drivers using more regular helmet integrated headsets.

congrats to Neuville Gilsoul,really well deserved win,fastest crew won.
Evans superb rally,i am not so sure that he came 3rd just from his drive/pace.Suspicious about his pace near to Lappi and just ahead of Rovanpera(stage 15),and slower from Suninen at power stage..
At first pass this morning was faster from Ogier at both.He had same tyres as others.
Ogier nice rally,good result,he pushed to this point he was comfortable.Mature driving watching the big picture.
Waiting to be faster from Evans though,still first rally,we will see at later rallies again.
Loeb,a shadow from his previous Monte rallies.I think time for retiring has came even for the God.
Rovanpera excellent rally,done what asked/required.
Lappi bad start,but he found speed as the rally progressed.
Suninen still after so many rallies,i dont see any progress.
About Tanak,i wouldnt call it a drivers mistake 100%. From videos we saw,its clearly that after the 2nd bump,was just passenger. Not a good start,waiting for next rallies.
Makinen changed the whole team,and at Monte worked brilliant.Waiting to see next rallies,to see if Evans/Rovanpera could deliver at gravel rallies.
Bring on Sweden,cant wait!!

Especially about Loeb, really painful to watch him to go so slowly and i dont get it actually.
Loeb looking for bettere position for swe? (no change in manu point losing position)
U never think that it wasnt driving mistake by pushing 110% but just bad pacenotes? It was new stage and Ott said that it was just something that they didnt see ahed on recce, so wtf are u talking about pushing on the limit.Quote:

Btw. Loeb was beating everyone when on gravel tires on tarmac sections in Spain 2019 (road position shouldn't matter on those sections), just 3 months ago.
b) Hyundai tarmac car is rather specific
------------------
b) seems more and more like the clear answer with every new rally where Loeb/Mikkelsen stuggle on tarmac while doing fine on gravel. Tanak's outing over the few stages seems more like confirming b) than a) as well.
But, as mentioned before there are close to no tarmac rallies this year, so it might not matter much how the car is on tarmac. With Neuville winning here it is again less likely they will do some massive changes to it. What does seem likely is that Sordo will drive in Germany and Japan.

Delecour who asks Ogier what he missed overall "the risk taking honestly, we did not dare to take as many risks as Thierry, when the conditions were delicate this is where we lost the longer. And hey, that's true to my course of action, I won the Montecarl several times, staying most of the time in my comfort zone, there we see that this morning again he is still hitting a low wall, it breaks a rim uh I mean when it wants to pass it passes but it will not pass every day it's clear ".
Is it the first time 1st position on Power Stage is tied (counting to hundredths)? Is it still a shared stage win?
