if only they had the cleverness to start more cars, they could have had 2 or 3 cars in front of him. Toyota has 4 cars at least.Quote:

Pay for extra cars and drivers just to be Neuville road-sweepers ? I dont think so.Quote:

Seems you're unhappy not matter what he does - despite the fact that he's best placed out of the three championship hopefuls and can do wonders tomorrow when running order is reversed.Quote:

I like Fourmaux's ambition but I think he has too much to do to pass the two ahead of him.
Don't say, he was three seconds faster than Katsuta on this one and only 1.6s remains. Difference of 4.5s to Tanak is likely too much for today but tomorrow is a new day.Quote:

We are following a world championship.
It is pretty obvious to me that drivers have way to little in car seat time. They dont get their settings correct, issues with cars are not found before the rally, and so on.
In seat practice for drivers competing at this level, need to be increased a lot. Both from a safety perspective, but also from a fair competition perspective.
That but it also seems to me that Hyundai in general is struggling here compared to Poland or just that Toyota has done a better job preparing for this rallyQuote:

He is the best placed from our TOP 3, but I think that it really depends on road position. Podium is quite far from him and fourth place isn't enough for championship. But rally is still long, many things will happen.Quote:

Lappi had no test in Finland at all. There has been only two days (Tänak & Mikkelsen) testing during the whole summer. Why not testing there is a big question?Quote:

E. Yes says so.
Let's see if Hyundai will drop Lappi behind Neuville or if they'll shoot themselves in the foot again...
Fourmaux past Tänak
Katsuta can do the same
This hurts
Great stuff from Fourmaux.
Brilliant from Fourmaux
So Tänak loses 2 places with one stage.
Starts 5th instead of 7th instead tomorrow
Taka gonna get Tanak as well, mini disaster for Ott
Kalle killed it.
Lappi got some team orders..?
Still a smaller disaster than Neuville.Quote:

This is like a power stage, all are giving it everything to get the best position for tomorrow
Lappi team orders probably? Would be smart from Hyundai.
Lappi wont admit it...
and tomorrow we will hear bad mood Lappi all day :D
Did M-Sport nominated Sesks for manufacturer points?
None of the Hyundais in TOP5 after the first day and also zero stage wins for them.
No.Quote:

Not counting problems or mistakes, Neuville should be able to take Munster tomorrow, but that's it. He has to hope for others' mistakes.
Tanak should get Fourmaux and Katsuta on speed. Evans could try doing the same, don't know if Fourmaux will be fast enough to keep him behind with only 2 spots better in road position.
I think that both Fourmaux and Katsuta can challenge Tanak and Evans on speed based on road position. Question is If Katsuta will bin it.Quote:
