I would like time penality but ensure that I have a reliable car in the following event. According to Mills, at the end of the stage there were no more oil in the engine, don't you think that this can affect the engine and loose power in the next event?

Hirvonen now 2nd !!!! 1 second infront of Atko.

As expected...

Loeb dominates.....he makes other rally drivers look like sick dogs waiting for someone to put them out of their misery

Say what you say and what you want but to me it seems that Xsara was about as fast as Focus - watch for instance Stohl's astonishing raw stage win in repeated stage.

We know that Sordo had particular problems with the snow. And I can buy that Focus was clearly better in Norway with particular conditions. But yesterday Sordo's pace in repeated stages was astonishing. He is not yet as fast as Petter and shouldn't be anywhere near to Hirvonen.
