Latvala FASTEST on first split !! No safety driving !
So Ogier is sweeping again in Mexico
Sorry. Latvala :D
Great work Ogier and Tanak.
Tanak will win a few rallies in 2017!
Hat tip to M-Sport, finally you guys have great drivers.
It would be wonderful if Toyota could consider Mikelsen for the no 2 seat.
Great performance by Tanak.. very quick and no mistakes. The win will come soon.

Yeah!!!! Jml!!!!!!!
Hats off for Latvala. Stunning pace when it mattered the most.
Neuville grabs the title Mr. Bottlejob from Nico Rosberg.
a win is a win, well done to both toyota and Latvala.
Now a month of wait and the real season starts.
It's SILLY! Have this kind of finish.... shame on you rally sweden! SHAME!
Great stuff, so happy to be very, very wrong.
Also, very nice to see a proper finish, not three crews spraying champagne for TV before a long road section to the end.
I told you 2 months ago, Yaris is a fast car... I am waiting for tarmac rallies I think it can shine there. Congrats ti JML and Toyota...
Top 6 same drivers as Monte... go Breen, go Sordo.
Very strong win for Latvala ! With the win on PS also i think Tommi have done some miracles with JM´s mind !
yeah where are those who though Ogier is invincible. never under estimate anyone.. TOYOTA and latvala, good job
Great drive and a well deserved win :)

Gazzzooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!
Who would have thought Makinens team would lead WRC after two rounds.
high odds for that!
Congratulations to Latvala/ Antilla and Gazoo Toyota.
Always cheer the underdog!
Fantastic performance by the skillful Latvala and truly deserved win. Succeeded to find a strong rhythm with the Toyota which is obviously good on soft surface and disaster on tarmac - typical finnish job.
Neuville really needs to visit psychologist. Tanak - good that he reaches the finish of rallies, first win will come some day this year. Ogier confessed in Saturday he tries everything but can't be faster so he snatched maximum possible points like a true champion. Next ahead is Mexico, tough rally for strong pilots where many cards will be revealed and some people will be surprised.
I just realized I had not heard Japanese anthem in a very long time.
Happy for JML and Toyota. As someone said previously, now just need Citroen to get in the fight.
Time to finish up your bowl kid and move on. :DQuote:

Stunning performance from Neuville, Tänäk and Latvala! Intresting times ahead. Neuville will most likely fly in Mexico due starting position :)

What a return for Toyota to the sport!!!, podium after Monte and now winning in Sweden, a deserved win for Latvala, looks strong now in the championship, hopefully both him & the team can keep this form.
Again job well done for M-Sport, leading the way by 20 points.
Again stupid mistake by Neuville robbing himself from yet another victory otherwise, once Hayden will get up to speed they will be in the fight from both drivers. While again Sordo achieves a second consecutive 4th spot.
Citroen as Breen said have a lot of work to do, doesn't sound too encouraging, they will have a lot to improve if they want to get on the podium let alone a win. Again Stupid mistake by Kris, seems as if it's only a matter of time before Mikkelsen gets his seat in with the big boys.
Now looking very much forward to seeing the cars on gravel spec for the first time.
Bring on Mexico!
I can't be happier with how Latvala's weekend played out. A well deserved victory not just for him but for the car. For him to manage the pressure so well is completely unprecedented.
Also, kudos to Sordo for his consistency. Impressive.

For me personally, I want to hear HOT comment, HOT emotions from driver that win rally and a power stage. Instead of that we have "JML quick go to the road section and to the podium. We don't need your thoughts live, we don't need emotions from crew, we just need good picture for TV".Every rally have two celebrations, one at the end of stage and other on podium at service-park.Quote:

What a brilliant way for Latvala to take the victory, smashing the opposition and winning all the stages today!
Is there enough humble pie to go around for all on this forum?
I found it quite the opposite; not usually a fan of this "spraying champagne in a random farmyard watched by family and sheep" thing. They showed the actual finish for once and it (briefly) showed that rallying isn't just a sport where you just drive SSs. Although I'd trade either for just showing a few more cars through.....Quote:

Think it says something about Toyota perfomance
It was an impressive way to finish. Not sure if road conditions played a factor for those early guys on the PS. But they retired so that's on them.Quote:

They can do easily.... that can interview all drivers, and JML as well... Congrats him at the end (as usual) and then show two or three cars from the behind to just allow drivers reach a podium ceremony and then show all what they do. It would be perfect!Quote:

They missed most of last year to test and be ready with the new car and yet those that started much later (MSport) or from scratch (Toyota) have started significantly better.
Worrying. :(
