Ogier 2nd on PS !
Hugely impressed by Breen. Mexico is too late because the entires have already closed, but surely, they could put him in a car for Corsica.
Congrats also to Neuville for a great win!
Let's see the aftermath of Ogier's antics. 2nd on PS thus far.
Ogier slotted in second, +1.3 to Lappi.
And kept 10th from Elfyn, so 5 points total. Sneaky Frenchman spoils the party...
Also impressed by Takamoto for beating Tidemand on his home ground. 4.5 seconds.
I really thought he wasn't anything special. I'll have to reevaluate now...

Ogier is damage limitation master, good job... Tanak missed opportunity to do the same this time.
no interview from Ogier at wrc live text.
Does anyone have the drivers championship points now?
You can't change the rules in any way to remove this possibility though. As you cannot have rules that e.g say "Drivers to late to TC before Power Stage will not be able to score Power Stage points". This will cause issues if there are mech.issues, someone have gone off on the earlier stage and blocked the road etc.
You could have all the other drivers team up and just stay behind Ogier and waiting it out. That would however be a massive farce and just spitting in the face of the fans...
When anyone decides to just ignore the rules, ignore any kind of sportsmanship and seemingly not accepting that this is a sport that happens outdoor. Then I am fine with him being ignored by the TV-Crews and media. Especially as no-one seems to be able to dare to ask him any critical questions. Or at least ask him what would make him happy in Sweden, as he have complained about every single little thing that happens here.

Not an Ogier fan but this was just simply very clever and well executed. Those 4 extra points can make the difference at the end of the season, well played Seb.
Pity for Paddon, he needed this boost of confidence, but what a monstrous drive by Lappi. Hats off to him.
Even without the mistake, Paddon wouldn't be able to save the 3 secs gap.
@EstWRC, you got your prediction right.
Neuville 41 pts
Ogier 31pts
Latvala 23 pts
Lappi 23 pts
Tanak 21 pts
Mikkelsen 21 pts
Breen 20 pts
Meeke 17 pts
Paddon 10 pts
Evans 8 pts

Good guy Ogier. Took all the snowflakes hate away from Tänak.

Here you go, you can see the points & everything here.
They have corrected penalty for Ogier. But instead of giving 4:10, in results is 4:15 :D
SUN 13:43 - OGIER UPDATE
The champion comes clean on the Power Stage mystery. "It was a team strategy. From our place in the order we had no chance. We tried to play a bit and get an acceptable position. On the Power Stage I made a few mistakes, I wasn't used to so much grip, but finally we archived out objective and took some points."
MSport played a gamble to lose one point but have the chance to score 3-4 points... Ogier gave it all in PS.
