ford HAVE played with time penalties many times but obviously you Ford boys seems to have "forgotten" that.
Not to mention ho whey have used team orders to slow down other Ford drivers so that MH and JML could finish in a higher position.
I know Citroen have done it too but as I said anything Citroen have done Ford have done before.

What a load of horse****! Ford haven't exactly been shy in playing the tactical card in the past, and in fact Wilson was saying the other day that he wants them to stay as it's the only thing that makes WRC interesting.

Damage control? Smelling a FIA sanction coming for bringing the sport into disrepute?

Can all the ford little girls in here gather their tears ? I plan to shower with them...

Hirvonen fan tears are also good so gather them also....

Citroen and ford did a shameful LEGAL thing that the F.I.A ALLOWS them to do...now with Ogier the story is very harsh but i doubt the Citroen team will not repay him in other ways....

did you miss me ?? be honest

Yes, ford have done it before but not like that. They have done it before the end of rally to switch positions. As I mentioned, I like that cat and mouse slowing game before the end of day.. bust to do such nasty thing like Quensel did today and Malcolm followed, I can see only one way, exclude cars nr 1-4 from the standings and drivers as well.

And I dont consider myself as ford fan.. I was a few years ago.. but now I am just a fan of rally :-) And for me, This is the worst thing that has happened in last ten years that Quensel did today.

All that was unnecessary and comical. Loeb would win anyway without Ogier, so the only one to lose is Ogier himself. I was hoping for a very exciting 3 way fight between Latvala, Ogier and Petter. Too much tactics ruined that.

I also feel Jari could fight for the win if he was driving not with a 2nd driver mindset.

F1 Sepang qualifying was more interesting.

I'm sure he didn't choose to play this ridiculous game himself.

Thas was the most stupid thing I've read here in awhile.

What does Latvala and Solberg have to do with this??!! Nothing, so leave them alone.

Solberg does not wear number 4 I mean manufacturer entries. Just to bring them back on earth. Solberg wins, Wilson second, Ogier third.. etc.
