Jump start for Ogier.
Ogier not liking Pirelli lol
Loeb wins - the Puma wins on debut - M-Sport wins !!! :D
2 drivers one stage between them for the win and ogier chokes shows the hold the goat has over him chances are we won't see a final stage showdown between them like that again
Loeb is not driving as clean as we are used of him here.
If Ogier didn't have the penalty this could've swung !
At 47 years and 331 days Seb Loeb is now oldest WRC winner. It is very big achievement as previously oldest WRC winners usually were in events where out-and-out speed mattered less than experience and measured approach (Waldegard and Mikkola in Safari).
Nope. He would still have won by 0,5 seconds.Quote:

Also first female win since F. Pons?
And my first prediction is correct hahaha, would've never imagined.

Congrats to Maestro Loeb and Galmiche! Welcome to Sweden. You must!
Somebody pinch me, are we back in 2013? If not for Breen in third, you could’ve fooled me.
Can we repeat this every year from now on? A loeb vs ogier fight, just to put in perspective how the other drivers compare.
so happy for M-sport, years of misery and finally a win
like i said on friday, the most talented motosport guy that there ever has been
Kalle 3rd in the Ch'ship.
If not for the penalty, would’ve been the closest finish in Monte Carlo ever! What a sport, two amazing legends.
Congrats Seb and Isabelle! They were so cool and chatting the whole event and then still delivered. Hey Mr ben Sulayem I think I've found the Superstars you were looking for, lol!
So surreal seeing the name "Loeb" on top of the championship standings.
So does ogier gets power stage points? I assume not?
Emotional.
I can't believe that Loeb did it... what a driver, I'm speechless. Some time ago, a topic was opened on this forum "was Loeb really THAT good?"...
Yes, he was. And yes, he still is. The maestro.
97 years onboard. The old era of hybrids.
Yes he does, one for being 5th fastest. On PS, any penalty received (for jump start) is added to the stage time (WRC regs art. 50.4 second paragraph).Quote:

So he does, one.Quote:

It think he did. At least about the jump start, so he should have been expecting it.Quote:

I don't think Ogier would be able to live with the disappointment year after year! :DQuote:

Congrats Maestro,fully deserved win,no mistake at all.
Remember that plenty said that ok he has all the records you can count about wins,stage wins,championships etc,but he was at a team that build cars only to his likes.
I feel priveleged to watch him from his beggining with saxo s1600 at Acropolis before so many years.
simply GOAT.

I’ve never sat & watched every stage but I did this weekend for this bloke.
Thanks so much Seb Loeb for all the excitement over the years.
Ahahaha that stupid sentence, the audacity to mock your team like that!Quote:

I don't know who said that, but I don't really agree with it. Ogier is still a great champion and I don't think it's right to dogpile him just because he lost this fight (due to a puncture).Quote:

He said it in Germany 2011. He was told by the team to hold second and not risk the 1-2 with a stupid fight and when Loeb had a puncture, he came up with the brilliant idea show his team the finger with this statement.Quote:

Bit hard on Ogier as he was great during the event, but that’s rally.
Wonder what the odds are for Loeb to win a rally in his 50’s? Might be worth a few quid on a punt.
