Meeke out, Neuville out from the lead... Monte Carlo deja vu. Not that is surprising that Meeke and Neuville make mistakes but come on...
This is really inexcusable for Neuville.
The biggest **** up I can ever remember.
I really hope Latvala can focus tomorrow and drive like he did on day one. With that it might just be enough to win. He can't let the pressure get to him.

If Tanak wants to win, he needs to get ahead of Latvala and pray Ogier doesn't pass the Fin...
We might see team orders tomorrow, let ogier fight for the win and Tanak to hold a podium place.
I don't care if I get drunk tonight, I will still wake up early tomorrow.
Looks like they fix it....
I don't know, maybe at the power stage, I don't think they will give orders from the beginning of the day at this point of the season.Quote:

Neuville crash, from very far unfortunately
Let's see. I hope not, and still think that they are clever enough not to ruin Tanak's season in that way.Quote:

Feel sorry for Neuville!
Again, you cant win much, but loose a rally on a SSS.
Even though, no way Tanak would listen.Quote:

Can't see it happening. I don't think Malcolm would do that to Ott. And if he did - do you think Ott would listen? Game on tomorrow. Unreal from Neuville. May have already thrown his title hopes away. You can't hand points to Ogier like this.Quote:

The Cit C3 looks very fast on asfalt, and as normal is constructed mostly for that I guess.
But on loose stuff it has a lot to improve!
Wow....
So tomorrow, seemed so battle for podium today, terned in to race for the win.
And seems to me it will be something like this
Attachment 1234
Wilson had McRae and Sainz and gave team orders to them.If Tanak can't pass Latvala he is 3rd, end of story.
Please be realistic. For sure there will be team order in favour of Sebastien if they can/need to do it. After all, we don't even know if this is written in Ogier's contract.
lol :)Quote:

#Neuville UPDATE: driving the car back from the SSS. We will check the car in service this evening and rejoin tomorrow under Rally2.
wow, just missed the last one and what a turn around, we are going to have a Sunday showdown....
With such acts like Neuville managed to perform twice in a row Mr.Ogier will lost motivation for fight.....it has no sense to risk anything if others guys demolish their hopes and positions by such stupid mistakes.....he can just cruise, collect points and here we go...another championship under his belt.
if you watch closely,he touched something with his front left corner and that drove him at the barrier with front right corner.Quote:

In any case it sets up a thriller day tomorrow! Ogier hasn't been at his best this rally and Tanak's advantage could be enough. Latvala is the unknown here, he's been consistent but usually slightly slower, I expect Tanak will be able to overtake him. Of course with Latvala there's the risk he decides to push and goes off which would result in a Ford 1-2.
About team orders, I don't think they will happen, except for "bring the cars home". The situation is too complicated as it is right now it's best to let each driver try to get the best result, not to mention you don't want to sour the atmosphere so early in the season.
Louise Cook still going? No result on SSS Karlstad?
