As for Ott, I think that with a bit more luck on his side next year (assuming he doesn't take it tonight/today) he'll be the man to beat in 2019. Oh btw, it's Toyota's second season and it looks like they're managing to do something Hyundai have tried and failed to do since 2014 with no luck....just goes to show, Hyundai need to do some changes to personal with the addition of Mikkelsen proving to be useless this year, he's lucky to have that 2 year contract. Anyhow, congrats to Ogier, he's earned it.

"Mikkelsen prvoing to be useless". Thats a pretty hard thing to say. He´s had a though year. No doubt, you can call i disaster year. But calling him useless is wrong. He´s a good driver, thats why Hyundai signed him for two years. They know he can be a top 3 driver. Give this guy a car that is good and he is one of the best. And with that said- some of his mechanics have been fired this year, just take a look at the Hyundai videos. After Portugal its some new faces. Its obvious they have had some trouble within the team. You can blame Mikkelsen for some of the rallies, but I do think Hyundai has to take to blame aswell. As a team they have been a disaster.
Lets hope they can turn tings around in 2019!

No way... Breen's done himself no favours for 2019 this rally.

(Breen span)

Breen come on! Stop this

Really need to do the count for spins/mistakes fro Breen.

Breen lost episode IV

Breen keeps spinning...

I actually think Ogier will go for PS win.

I feel Breen Is going to go the way of Matthew Wilson... I hope not!

Ogier pushing...

Ogier "I hope I will not miss it (this car)" ... doubts starting? :D

I'm going to miss the Toyota village team... Farewell Lappi!

That's decent drift by Lappi :eek:

While Østberg sharing car with Loeb at Citroen would certainly work I just don't see him going to MSport after all the history there.

Tanak was in and out and in and out with M-Sport. You never know!

Ogier will win the stage.

Championship in the Champion's style:champion::champion::champion::champion::cham pion::champion:

Against all the odds JML is safely through! :D Village team takes the manu title and Finland gets their sole win of 2018!

GET IN THERE JARIIIIIII :D

NOT, grace us with your village team bashing now!

Jesus Christ, Ott..

Well deserved win for JML! Congratz! It was massive mind boost for Jari-Matti!

I'm not disregarding the spectators, no way!

Congratulations to JML and Mads and a special congratulations to Hayden for his controlled and well planned event. The work that he has done back home in personal preparation to get himself into the position of being a real contender showed in the results.

OK, perhaps I was a bit too harsh towards him, but I think if you look at Sordo and Paddon, they've done a great job considering they only did half a season. Hope Hyundai will do their homework for next year, looks like Toyota will be the team to beat in 2019.

Great drive by JML. After they found some good settings on the car he's been fast. Spain on gravel was fast for JML as well. He will have a good boost going into Monte

Star of the rally?

Latvala, Paddon or Kiri Bloore and her legs.

Tough choice....

lol, Gill near faster as Mikkelen. keep that level as on 1st split all stage :)

Easy! Latvala...

Ogier, what a Champion! I cheered for him so much, another fully deserved championship. Almost nobody congratulate, but that's how things go here ..

Toyota should not have planted that tree there in Australia 30 plus years ago. Total incompetence on their part

Tänak mistake https://m.postimees.ee/section/3337/6456316

What a closing day of the season. I'm speechless again.

Monte is reserved for another win by the Champ - JML may get a podium though when Neuville and Tanak hit trouble.
