I think if Mads stopped going on about co-drivers and calling of notes and concentrate on driving, there's nothing as annoying as drivers moaning. Hopefully he'll just drive in Sweden.Quote:

Mads does like a whinge.Quote:

One IRC, three WRC.Quote:

Timekeeping in power stage is 0,000 seconds, not 0,0s like other SS, but official times in power stage are 0,0s.Quote:

There's a difference between moaning and explaining. Plus he had changes of car and team which Mikkelsen didnt.Quote:

In the context of Monte Carlo spectating this guy was not in a bad place, it was his idiotic reaction that caused his problem. This said I'd love to see Latvalas in car of the incident, his screen must have became dirty late on in the off? Or was the steam the issue?Quote:

Going back home after spectating saturday and sunday stages.
It's incredibile how Ogier cleanest lines are clearly visible when spectating. Very brave in some places, incredible how he masters his car and have full control everytime in a tricky rally like monte.
Very funny to watch Tanak, always more sideways than others but blody slow.
Meeke was impressive and Latvala very cautious and with not full control of the car. He hitted the spectator 2 km after where I was...
Regarding the spectating issue I agree with you. The rally is very poorly controled, I was in a very fast and long section at SS10 (same as latvala crash) and there were only one Marshall in all the area. It was very crowded and eveeybody was doing all they wanted. On the contrary in the power stage it seemed to be in the nazist Germany. I think the power stage is the worst stage to spectate. There is too much (and stupid) control, most of drivers are cruising and there are all those helicopter that ruin everything with their noise and you can't almost hear the cars.
You're right, he is not driving quick enough for podium places. But the things he was complaining previous years were lot of technical issues as I remember. Besides, who is driving fast enough for podium except VW boys? Ostberg was the "best of the rest" last year after all....Quote:

Yeah dam shame that it wouldnt report good stuff. When has bbc ever given highlights of a rally in recent years.
Playing Devil's advocate. But why should they? It's a minority sport.....
LOL.., I'm talking about the article..Quote:
