Tanak-again positive surprise. Big congrats. It will be interesting to see pickem results...
Mikkelsen-third event in C3, second place. Nothing to add....done with master's degree!
Ogier-for me the biggest winner of this rally. 17 points lead will give him some peacefull sleeping before Spain. And he showed, that is possible to drive this beasts for two days on 95% of their performance.
Juha Hanninen-well done. No dramas, good for his confidence.
M-Sport: the constructive title is already in their hand. Awesome result for Malcom.
fantastic win by tanak... unmistakable run throughout.
the potato joke will retire in at least 2 events from now on... he will go down in history like the bozzo the clown who lost the championship in a superior car to the driver who got constantly ridiculed by his team mate and he could not find a way out of super specials...
i feel sorry for the hyundai team... they build a great car but they choose useless dogs to drive them... the human resources manager should be proud.
Truth has been spoken. It is pathetic that Ford still has not given them a phone call and a contract. They have the chance to replicate VW with a strong package and a world champion driver...Quote:

As much as I would criticize the organization of the rally, I have to say they did a lot of cool and interesting stuff after the powerstage. That soundbite from the Tanak's car to the "pit wall" at the end was very F1, they should do that more often. And going straight to the real podium after the powerstage and showing the whole podium celebration was great as well. They did that in Sweden as well and it was awesome. Very interesting result in terms of putting more intrigue into the driver market (Mikkelsen) the driver championship (Ogier) and interesting also that Tanak and Ogier are on the same number of wins! I suspected this was going to be a great year for the sport, and it has been just that. The only element missing would have been just a tiny bit more reliability from Jari-Matti's car and it would be a 3 or 4 way title fight going into the summer break. Great.
People like him and not will never see the truth...Quote:

Lots to happen before that tho...
YEEEEEEHUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU, WUHUUUUUUUUUUUU TARMAC TÄNAK :D
i held my horses before the rally, i remember when some members here made predictions how fast some drivers will be then i really wanted to write Tänak is gonna surprise you all. (remember how i wrote there will be surprises ;) )
But to be honest even i didnt predict such a performance. i thought he will mix with TOP3 definitely and 3rd was also my prediction.. He drove very maturely, got the lead on friday and held it perfectly. Okay we must admit he was very lucky also getting out of the vineyards on friday but that was the only mistake he made the whole weekend.
Amazing weekend and today is Estonias Re-Independence day so all in all everything is very good and perfect. :)
Supreme work by Tanak and also Ogier, here you see why he is champion.
I am not necessarily sure the championship is over, Ogier is not so strong on GB. Let's wait and see, I would be extremely happy to see M-Sport and Ogier champions.
Really nice victory for Tanak.
We had a pretty good rally. Didnt like the super special and the first stage of friday, but apart from that some good spots and nice action, especially on the Panzerplatte! Great fast new section there with such a tricky jump. Big big scare when really the last car of the rally crashed there very hard and started to burn immediately, but everything ended well for the crew, gladly.

How is winning the last 4 editions 'not so strong? The time before he didn't win was 2011 when he binned it purposely at Great Orme.Quote:

His results in GB were only strong when he was in VW, before that he was very prone to mistakes there, I think if the pressure is on he might cave there.
I don't think anything is decided, a mistake or a mechanical can change everything. One thing is for sure, Neuville has to go flat out tho...should be good to watch.Quote:

Having said that, his car sounded very strange durring the PS. Anyway, title looks out of reach now.
Do you even understand what kind of rubbish you are saying? Yes, consistent driving and team work is and has always been the key to succeed but without a car it`s impossible.Quote:

But oh well ..
Think you got it wrong there mate, Ogier has led GB every stage since 2013.Quote:

Ogier binned it in Finland, with no PS points etc. Ifs aren`t worth talking about, what has happened, has happened.Quote:

Despite Neuville’s bad result, I still believe that the title will be only decided in Australia. Neuville is more at ease in chasing mode and Ogier always suffers from being first on the road. It’d be great seeing them fight till the end of such a fantastic season. Fingers crossed.
Ssssh ....then he rolled!Quote:
