scary to see heikki's onboard, flying in the direction of ott's car.
really cool video by colin/dirtfish. i really like their coverage and analysis tbf.
i just hate the way they keep "milking content" during the week (tho i understand they gotta keep the clicks coming to make $). ogier says one thing - they report that - they release a video of him saying that - they writte a bad article about 'what does ogier meant when he said that' - then another bad article on 'repercussion of what seb said' - then another article with nothing, just a clikcbait...
haha
It was three major things that they lost. Mikkelsen's off on SS5. Ott's off on SS17, and again Mikkelsen's excursion into those trees. I don't know if it's Neuville's technical issues blame or not, don't have all that knowledge on that side.
If Mikkelsen didn't made that mistake at the PS, the points would still be equal 560 both (if we assume he would be 2nd/3rd). What would they do then? Imagine if FIA then decided to add extra small event to carry that title there and give the world even greater story, than it was.
Don't know, but this year many drivers did unthinkable at the last day of rallying, even when they could go safe. So many times. Really prove that sentence: it's not over until it's not over. Even Latvala did admit he was so nervous till the last centimeter of Elfyn to the finish line.

* https://x.com/paddocknews/status/1860668070533980241 - Järveoja was taking something from their car when Kovalainen landed there. Bad things were not that far away.
(edit: probably both videos were already posted)
Sucks for Ott. This is the thing that makes you cringe in 20 years when you randomly remember it in bed
