HAHAHAHA. Technical issue after touching a bank. That's a very diplomatic way of saying "he cocked up and broke the car by hitting a bank".

You're acting like a drama queen because of what? Some 3-4 seconds which Evans gave to Ogier? Dear God...
Anyway the job of Nr.2 driver is not to compete with Nr.1 driver. That's why they are called a team and if properly managed they should cooperate to achieve the team's goals. It's really that simple.
Well I don't approve KKS reaction. But Msport is quite ridiculous here.
They made Evans drop so that Ogier gets 6th starting position instead of 5th... really, that's new levels of n1 driver pushing. In Sweden they made Evans drop for ONE point.
What's next? They won't let Evans and Sunninen drive power stages at full speed? They let Sunninen drop 30s here in case he is ahead of Ogier on Sunday?
For the record Neuville lost points to teammates this year in Mexico (Sordo and Mikkelsen ahead overall), and Sweden PS (Mikkelsen on PS). You know how many times Ogier "lost" points to teammates? .... zero.

Ok lets see if it was worth the wake up alarm on a saturday at 6 for this....
