Hi Paba - guessing English isn't your first language. The word 'handicap' has 2 meanings:
An artificial penalty applied to better performers in sport to produce an 'equal' contest (golf, horse racing etc.)
Or
A synonym (not particularly PC) for a physical disability
So clearly a badly injured (i.e. actually non-existent) hand is a disadvantage which increases with the unpredictability of steering adjustment. So the OP was saying that circuit racing would involve less of a disadvantage than rallying for someone having a hand injury (or a prosthetic)

Considering that it is his 3rd stage with a WRC car what would more you expect?

A bit unlucky and anyway a forgivable error for a kiwi.

Neuville splits looking a bit better now.

Fastest tome for Meeke in this one!!!

Meeke 0,7s faster than Ogier

Well looking how much faster the first 2 are than the remainder of the teams (VW cars included) it would seem we have a genuine fight going on. I am pleasingly surprised that Kris has found this pace - hopefully without being over his limit too much!
