QUESTION OF THE DAY:
Sébastien Ogier must be sanctioned by Citroen for his behavior during the Rally of Germany?
Have your say.
People don't get, that Ogier is the best thing that have happened for WRC in many years. Imagine no Ogier! Most boring season ever. Let them fight!
you are right to a point, but Ogier needs to learn that his job is to drive, not to talk, he comes across as arrogant and disrespectful to all around him. He makes himself very hard to like, in fact I have followed rallying since the late 70s and he and Duval are the only 2 that come to mind that I would say I dislike!Quote:

And Ogier knows he has a chance to beat the greatest driver of all time.
I think Ogier is getting similar criticism that Hamilton also got/gets in F1...two highly skilled, passionate guys who love doing what they do but sometimes open mouths before thinking of the consequences. But both sports would be poorer if they weren't around.
I'd take an Ogier over a J-ML or Sordo every time

he has, but he could do it with more grace, he is a hugely talented driver, his drive last weekend was incredible, very few thought he could take Loeb on on German tar, but IMHO he doesnt come across as a person I'd like to be around
A few vocal hotheads are as much a part of the sport as understated Finns.
thats where you are wrong, Ogier is one of the nicest guys that I have met.Quote:

Ogier is in a winning team and wants to win everything..once you taste the win so often you become greedy...on the other hand if you lose almost always wityh hands down as the fins at ford then you get used to it.Quote:
