Someone in this forum said that it's not that other drivers are crashing to much but it's Ogier (and Loeb before him) that is hugely talented that crashes too less. He said that before Loeb world champions crashed everytime but they took titles anyway.
Of course no one of the drivers mentioned earlier should retire from the sport or is someone who doesn't belong to WRC. The result would be Ogier driving alone with one or two young boys that would retire after 3 years if they don't beat him.
It is not about the crashes, it is about to know what You want from particular event and to get it, it is not every time You can win it. Of course if You are more ambitious than Your abilities, with bigger competition You would crash more..... Ogier is really tough competitor though, probably even more than Loeb:)Quote:

Useless for what? Championship title? Yes perhaps 99% certainty. Anyway some just have to fill the numbers.... May be it doesn't apply to Neuville, but only if he changes the team with Toyota or other....Quote:

Maybe the hit was so strong that the data disappeared.. he also disappeared from the last stage splittimes list. Same for Fucs. Mikkelsen time was 13:09.8 on SS11Quote:

JML by mikelsen... Ostberg by anyone, they can hire a stray dog in his place.
