He looks as if he wants the media to back off and give him some space imho.

FIA should penalize him for some hundreds of euros

Meeke will need to be a little bit careful, Evans closing in fast.

Meeke at this point in my opinion just needs to finish the rally, gain the valuable date from the C3 to the team. No point in taking any risks, if I recall correctly by this time last year he was out so, really he just needs to get to the finish line and even if he scores 4 points from finishing 8th it's still better than crashing and should be a better start to the year. Also, same for Breen, first time for him here with the C3, take it steady.

As I'm enjoying more coverage I really feel sorry for drivers. Its just like no room to breathe for them nowadays, soon they will add a camera in their motel rooms and start filming them taking a dump.

Seb Loeb told that Ogier use same pacenotes system as he. How many pacenotes system french have?

Nice Loeb interview here. Again saying the C3 is ' really quite difficult in high speed corners and on gravel and wet tarmac. On dry tarmac it's great'.

I’m sure I heard that he’s going to do a bit of presenting on WRC+ today too.

Was it too late to enter him with a 3rd C3 after he retired early from Dakar?

this should be the sports biggest talking point... everything else is just fine at the moment

this system makes no sense at all... its just stupid that the first cars on the road arent the fastest...

we have had it before and it worked fine... and nowadays we dont have splits in the cars!

I wonder what the conditions are like on the stages now? Snow? Cleared to Tarmac? Which tyre choice is the best?

What? Do you forget so fast?

If you let leaders go first on gravel rallies you'd have people parking on the side of the road on last stage of friday/saturday so that they don't have to clean. We have seen that a lot before.

Makes for epic TV ;)

He will be remembered what it's like by mid-season if Latvala is ahead of him in the standings.
