He's nursing a brake problem which forces him to brake with right foot.

Maybe

For me it’s more the fact that Toyota is just so much better car

I don't disagree with much of what you've said. I'm not laughing at what you have said or saying what you think you saw is wrong. If, as you say, Fourmaux and Loubet look faster, it's cute, because their stage times don't reflect that (at least relative to the fastest two or three drivers).

You are correct - there is nothing unusual about drivers taking different lines or moving their cars in different ways. But if you tell me that two guys looked fast and efficient, and those guys set times over 1 second per km slower than the scratch...

Ok. You win. By lots of words. We see things different and you´re an expert. Not me.
I´m amused by your way of taking in others.

Without taking away anything from Evans's performance, don't judge before tomorrow, when they have similar road position.

Lappi just 2.6 from Neuville

He will get past for sure when brakes working and the just Tänak between the Toyotas

I was just comparing Evans and Rovanperä. If Tänak will not invent some miracle during lunch time, he does not seem to have no response for Toyotas this year.

Tänak admitting he is on the edge and can’t beat the Toyotas in media zone

Seem to recall Evans having what he felt was a defining PET test in Finland last yea, viz-a-viz set-up. Wondering whether those lessons are being to very good use here! Currently, he is no doubt a step up on everyone!

And Tänak got 10sec penalty for not driving in EV mode somewhere.

Totally agree, remember what happened in Portugal, albeit disadvantage running first may be less here.

Have to admit that atm at least, the rally isn't the most interesting, Toyota dominating again (or at the very least take the win again), M-Sport are way off now with Breen out for the day, & Rovanperä doesn't have to push for the win as even if Evans does take this one, he'd still be some 60+ points behind, at this point the championship feels like who finished second which is a shame since we did get the new regs for this season.
Still early days in the rally I know, but Toyota's domination is starting to take it's toll, nothing against the rally or the competitors, it just feels like we've seen this situation a few times before this season. I can't stress this enough, I hope Hyundai get their parts together for 2023, so we'll have some competition, also I hope Tänak leaves them for M-Sport or something. I'm aware I'm stating the obvious, it's just a shame we have these (still) magnificent cars yet we're not enjoying them to the full extent, like we did back in 2017.

Its still a long way to go. If it starts raining everything can happen.

I take my words back about Lappi as negative surprise so far. I hope he can turn it around in the afternoon when brake problem is fixed.

Shame for Breen. This was the rally where he could have showed his real potential.

Paddon out with mechanical problems.

Neuville falling further and further behind...

From onboard it looks like Ott is fighting a lot and pushing like hell and time is not there. Just sad.

It seems that Lappi will pass Neuville to 4th overall.

Fourmaux with the same time as Evans on split 1... a bit scary.

edit: 7.2sec down on split 2

I don’t get it

Tänak is fastest basically in first splits the whole day then loses a lot after that

Nope. Down. Seems like "Made by Hyundai". If to quote fellow country-man, then: "The quality is amazing"

Sometimes pushing like a hell doesnt meen to have good times. Often it is better to push little bit less, drive more precisely and time will be better...

Later on we'll hear an "Apologies for us" by the great commentators, and as to making sure these things don't happen again, they'll just copy paste the same response for next time.

Meanwhile in rally, Rovanperä took 5.5sec back from Evans.

Evans' clean run of stage wins comes to an end.

It has to be something to do with the web because in Estonia TV3 Sport is showing stages live and I haven’t seen any issues.
