With only road order, is massive loss regarding Ott and Kalle.Quote:

I guess he prepared to secure rally victory here.
It mostly shows just how much better the toyota is.Quote:

Lappi with is more aggressive driving style maybe have overcooked tires
edit: Lappi's car rear was also off the road similar to Neuville. Lucky to get away without damage. This luck will not stay too long with that style I guess.
Having by far the longest stage on Day 1 is harsh on those leading the Championship and so opening the road. They have no chance of the rally win already.
or exactly opposite - helping. If Rovanperä can not win here because of really bad road position, then his competitors for the title can not get larger points (for win), because Ogier takes them himself.Quote:

Tänak Ott - Järveoja Martin
"It is a challenge. A massive struggle and a massive loss. Like driving a tow truck, such inertia in the rear."
There is no reason to compare uncomparable situations. Ogier mastered it, that for sure.Quote:

Only Weather lottery can save this rally.
Kinda stupid to have rally-deciding stages on friday but hey what do I know…
There is always a chance, but it’s good and helps level things out.Quote:

And Sordo fell off the road just to put the cherry on the cake for Hyundai.
Sordo did some free falling
HE IS MOVING, wow fighter spirit
with so few Rally1 cars he could push it to the finish and still have a chance for points...Quote:

Holy fuck, Toyota is tank. Taka had huge impact and still moving.
There are some more factors at this stage. Tyre choice for instance and number of spares played big role here at Monte Lerno.
But for sure: Ogier still the master.
Damn that Toyota is a tank. Unbelievable
To conclude this stage - Hyundai still moving after falling down few meters from a cliff, Toyota is completely ok after driving over and against a cliff, and Ford... Ford is loosing power when sees water.

good that the Fords are finished with the stage already, seems it's raining now :PQuote:

All 3 drivers saying the same, no grip. If it's not the car then it's wrong tyre strategy.Quote:

Intrigued to see how the afternoon loop pans out.
Sordo and Neuville said putting on the hards was a mistake. Question is, would there be more grip for them with the softs? I guess we will see in the afternoon. But Neuville looks completely lost.Quote:
