Of course not... You don't become champion 6 times from luck.Quote:

Ogier (M-Sport) :champion: 2018 !!
Come on JML! Just hold on!
Ott did more mistakes on this rally than on whole season.
still a lot to learn for him and Neuville to become a champion
so ogier can go flat out in the PS
I'm taking a deep breath and not relaxing for shit until the Power Stage is over!Quote:

I hope both can win at least one championship if not more. Tanak will start next year as favourite and rightly so considering his speed this year.Quote:

Bring it on!!!!
ogier doesnt even have to finish this rally to get the titleQuote:

None of his rivals will do the power stage.
He has won. 2018 champion for sure.
Suninen is still standing near the end of the previous stage - doesn't really have any effect on overall results but he seems to have some kind of a problem.
Gutted as a Neuville fan but at the same time very happy to have witnessed such a fascinating season, a real classic!
Holding my breath for JMLQuote:

What happens in the Manu championship now?
Does Lappi bag enough points to keep Toyota in the game?
Also if people say he could just cruise it's not true at all. He had to do his best on Friday and did while both Neuville and Tanak made mistakes already then.Quote:

The only way for Toyota to loose is if Latvala retires without any points scored.Quote:

With 30s lead he can just cruise and will very likely be instructed to do so.Quote:

Was it latvala who retired on PS last year .. or was it someone else?
Yeah but he was trying to chase Neuville for lead even though Neuville was 14s ahead..... kinda stupid.Quote:
