'Only' is an exaggeration, they will want to win both.Quote:

That surely won't stay like that for long. I think there will be some drama this afternoonQuote:

Problem for Evans, cant turn the car
Why is Scott reading from his phone? Did they lose the note book?
Left his notes on previous stage's time control.Quote:

Second stage in a row Tänak is losing 2 seconds to Toyotas with the downhill section.
Those seconds are so crucial for tomorrows starting position
Rovanpera really unhappy with the car and tyre wear... but he still leads.
Evers second is so so important now
Sordo jumps into the car and "car works like part of my body"
Coming back to this. This is exactly what I was afraid before the season that without him and Lappi and Neuville matching last year with the set-up and working together, it has moved even more further to Tänaks likingQuote:

It may be interpreted as whining, also as just admitting, that has not found a comfortable setup for his style. From his attitude for me, it's the second, but there is a thin line and it's understandable if for others it feels different.
Sordo to allow Neuville past for another place down tomorrow's road order ?Quote:

More like Alonso, was champion but not as many times as someone could expect and has history of team changes that didn't work out.Quote:

Kind reminder - there is separate F1 forum, this is for WRC. Thank you.
Dont think I have ever seen someone put softs at front and hards at back
Which has absolutely nothing to do with his performance in the car. Tänak is complaining about the car not being to his liking, Alonso usually gets in and drives it as fast as possible no matter what. In that sense Alonso us more like Loeb.Quote:

Glad to see Scott uses my technique of having PDFs of the pacenotes on phone…..
Not the first to do it and won’t be the last. He’ll get a bit of a ribbing but others have left time cards etc behind at various controls.
We are watching proper gravel rally and we are having gaps smaller than in F1..Quote:
