Had JML kept it together in Germany the Championship would now be wide open. Any conspiracy theorists believe VW are trying to manipulate a close finish for WDC? - It's not like they aren't into manipulation for end of competition excitement ;)
It's not cornering disadvantage at all (that's why all formula cars are RWD). It's only traction and handling disadvantage in specific rally conditions (changeable grip, bumpy surface etc.).Quote:

Just about made it back (unless it came off a tow truck but nobody is helping him, Malcolm isn't :) so perhaps not):Quote:

M-Sport service area looks empty now - assume Evans ok to continue.
At least we know how make rally a bit more interesting... just delay one stage for 4 min and Ogier make all other by himself
Diffs lock can cause a spin. I don't know though how a spin could break the engine/gearbox without hitting something.Quote:

M-Sport quotes:
Elfyn Evans (4th +penalty) said:
"It was all going really well this morning. I didn't have a great feeling with the set-up, but it was good to see that the times were coming so naturally, even without a perfect feeling in the car. Then at the end of the stage we had a warning light appear on the dash and the car stopped on the liaison back to service. We had no choice but to push the car into regroup, which wasn't easy!
"It's obviously very disappointing but I think that we can be encouraged by the times we were able to set. There's still a long way to go, so we just need to continue as we have and try to claw back as many points as possible."
Robert Kubica (7th) said:
"It's been an okay morning – we've been driving smoothly with no mistakes. The first two stages were quite slippery so it was hard to believe how much grip there was in the last one [SS3]. The tyres were up to temperature and everything worked well."
Mikko Hirvonen (8th) said:
"I was struggling with the tyres quite a lot and the set-up wasn't quite right. The car is over-steering a lot so we need to make some changes to make it [the set-up] similar to what it was in Germany as I was much happier with the car there. Hopefully then we can have better pace."
Dennis Kuipers (11th) said:
"It took a while to get used to the new tyres this morning as we didn't have the opportunity to do a lot of testing with them, but the rhythm is coming and I was pleased with the driving on the last stage [of the morning, SS3]"
Yuriy Protasov (12th WRC) said:
"This morning has been an okay morning for us. We want to build on our speed throughout the weekend, but we have made no mistakes and taken no risks, which is the most important thing for the moment."

Why didn't Mikko have the Germany set-up to begin with?

Would have been nice to know what their view of their position was, relative to Kevin Abbring. I think he knew he had to impress from the very start as who knows when the T16 is going to develop yet another unforeseen problem. Impress he has!Quote:

Still beat Mikko though ! :)
Live footage is on here but delayed (Meeke just finished):

Hope next one is live
at DS3 R3T there are 4 Citroen's in the same second !!!!
Ogi must have had a moment at split 2 because even Mikko is faster after that.
