Oliver already got at least 2 lucky escapes from mistakes. Quite some play with luck.

All Huyndai drivers fighting with the rear of the car, it seems...

Neuville now, mess of a car

So, the Hyundai list goes on:
-Neuville's seat is loose

From friday...

Should be quite clear now?

I call it "friday heros" - guys who shine from good road position and then reality hits from equal road position. Evans IS good, but to expect him to beat Rovanperä at Finland...

1.Tanak if he really has no contract with Hyundai in next year
2.Ogier if he come back to full time
3.Neuville if he can end the relationship with Hyundai

only these 3 drivers can replace Evens

This is true but the risk is huge for all of them to be in the same role where Evans is right now. These guys haven’t been used to play second fiddle. But maybe they can adapt.

There are not only those if's but there also is the question whether one team could and should hire all the best drivers and essentially buy the title. I seem to recall that both Mäkinen and Latvala both have said that ideally, top drivers should be spread evenly amongst teams.

It's getting a bit silly with all these rocks and anti cut blocks especially in Estonia and Finland, you're not going to cut through 50cm tall grass anyway, at least put them 20cm off the normal line.

At least organizers made notes last year and this silly thing is not powerstage anymore.

Those silly ones are for lazy spectators who don't go into forest and fields but want to watch some stage in/near city.

This year the power-stage is proper one and presents the rally.
