While I agree Sordo did very good job bringing C4 to points while all the chances seemed doomed before the rally, it's important to realize that top four REALLY wasn't pushing after Sohlberg's crash. So taking off that 5 minutes and then observe the results is irrelevant because should he not have the time penalty, I don't think he would have been third.
I don't think so, Hirvonen will not crash this year ;)Quote:

Star of the rally is Al qassimi. ;) His Jump was 36 meters over Colin's crest.
2th was Dutch driver Peter van Merksteijn (35,10) and 3rd Mikko Hirvonnen who has a jump of 34,50 meters.

Same for Sordo, was he pushing?Quote:

But because of the pressure Jari had (not from behind) but just being the leader was really impressive. He would have been very tense knowing if he held it together then he would score his first WRC win. That pressure from himself would have been immense!
So my vote is for Jari Matti!
Yes but how do you explain the few stage wins on Day 2 and none on Day 3?Quote:

Because Henning was quickest on day3, another one nothing to lose after his unforunate off on day2.Quote:
