I’m pretty sure it’s 4 minutes tomorrow.Quote:

E: even Ogier said in media zone that it isn’t fair for others. That it was 4 minutes last year and even then it was bad and now the decision to have 3 minutes gaps. Says it’s worse this year with the dust.
even 4min is not enough in those over 30km stages ...
and when someone has puncture ...
In "good old days" there were never 3 or 4 minutes intervals.
But I´m OK with even 5 minutes because only 24 cars started.
Well yes it’s a difficult topic, hard to find a solution. But for sure 4 minutes is better than 3
Loeb saying in media zone they had already so much dust at the start so they called the team but they couldn’t do anything.
The first time I watched WRC on gravel was Sardinia 2009, there were 4 minute intervals between WRC cars, 3 minute intervals for the others. And on the first stage of Sunday it still wasn't enough... :)Quote:

Drama to be expected!
Tanak:
"It tastes, or it smells a bit s***, as last year when I was opening the road it was four minutes and now it’s a French guy opening it’s only three minutes.

Morning
expecting an Ogier smash from this long stage
@TGR_WRC
Ogier /Evans 4 MICHELIN LTX Force H4 +1M6
Rovanperä: 4H4 + 2M6
@HMSGOfficial
Tänak: 2H4 + 3M6
Neuville: 5H4
Loeb: 4H4 + 2M6
Loubet: 2H4 + 4M6
@MSportLtd
Suninen/Lappi/Greensmith: 4H4 + 1M6
Let's see if Neuville can survive this stage on his third try
massively cleaning by the looks of first splits
Tänak smashed Lappi's first split.
BTW EstWRC I'm using Live Maps splits this time :)

The beginning of the stage has a smooth and hard road base like Mexico, it will clean and become a lot faster. There are also later softer and rougher places where it doesn't become that much faster.Quote:

Firstly, I found Tänaks conspiracy theory on small gaps being there to promote the French ridiculous. It is not his first time with such statements, this one was made after he had had some time to think it through, which makes it look that much more childish.
That being said, I don’t have a problem with anything else any of the other drivers said yesterday at stage end. Am I the only one who actually prefers the drivers speaking their mind, rather than just forcing a smile and going “it is what it is”? Sometimes it feels that every time a driver does not like something or even if he just finds something difficult, he will instantly get blamed for “whining”

It is what it is.
Tänak stopped
Yeah, but with 1 medium tyre. Why only 1? It can't have any effect to the times.Quote:
