[WRC] Neste Rally Finland 1st-4th August 2019

Lol Breen. Despite being tough on himself he's driving well.

Meeke and Tanak impressing

Anyway the differences are tiny compared with last year, for basically everyone.

One small stall can cost the same as you build up during the whole day.

JanPro is Janne Tuohino not Paasonen, ffs Jon Desborough.

Impressive drive by Breen. Mikkelsen also seems to start to get a grip of the i20. Maybe its starting to be more nice to the "normal" way of driving, and not the Neuville way? Still early, but strange to see Neuville slowest.

I think roadpositions 3-6-10 have something to say. With the changes it's probably like a different car on these kind of stages. Also Neuville is the only one that didn't drive in Estonia (even though Breen had old car there).

Perhaps Neuville has gotten used to the i20 being slow and adjusted his mindset to it....the last (& only) podium for him was back in 2013 with the last gen. Fiesta...hopefully he'll do better on the second pass.

Lindholm stopped?

Lindholm is in to ditch...shame

I'd presume partly down to all the top guys having done these stages twice now before (bar Meeke).

Nicely surprise by Loubet so far!
