Concerning Kubica, it is sometimes great to see him pass, but i am afraid that if he doesn't change his driving style that he is going to kill himself or some spectators one day.
It was also great rally in WRC 2, especially with Koci and Lefebre fighting very hard. Maybe Camilli was the fastest man around, but in the end you have to go untill the finishline to book some result.
Looking forward to Sweden where i expect a big fight between Ogier and Latvalla.
Yes, there is a rule.Quote:

In a way you´re right. But championship is a long way to go and JML did the best of it so far.Quote:

Loeb+Meeke was better. But it's Monte. You never know what to expect. You finish a rally or crashed. Or crashed between flying finish and stop line.Quote:

I doesn't hate him. I saw his smile and that first came to my mind. I just sharing it. When he doesn't smile - he's normal

1,2,3 on an event as tricky as the Monte is a fantastic result. Which for me means they weren't pushing as hard as they could - and that their car is obviously a lot faster? Loeb, and Meeke, to a lesser extent had to push more to stay competitive.Quote:

so yeh The VW can very well win every round unless hyundai comes up with something which i doubt (but i wish)..
you do not need more rounds to figure that out... so you can enjoy life without complicated questions in your head.
Great Rally, congrats to Ogier and VW. What a result.
Thursday belong to Loeb, Friday entirely to Ogier, Saturday to Kubica, Sunday to Meeke. What we would want more competition wise....
Latvala seem to be doing his own Rally where he can do the best he can and not trying the impossible, smart move. I was expecting little more from Mikkelsen. The Ford young duo was also somewhat impressive, but mistakes happen sometimes. Meeke was also doing great half the Rally. Loeb still has it, but it is very difficult now against VW-Ogier combination. Kubica impressive sometimes, sometimes he has to be smarter and must consider the road width is not infinite, otherwise great speed.
by the way i really liked the team spirit at the end of the power stage the VW drivers demonstrated...
proper !!!
Me, I'm never confused....Quote:

As you pointed out, you want to win in Motorsport = simple. £££££££££££ It's not rocket science.
one rally with a VW 1-2-3 and people already giving up on this season, lol.
the citroen really isn't that bad. its the drivers that make the big difference.Quote:

4. Do not rent your car to everyone like it is a cheap whore - check
5. Merchandise - Check
6. Get N.O.Ts approval - check and very important most people skip that and fail.
7. Be competitive and win titles and rallies - Irrelevant that nobody cares... glass house is more important.
Let's put some oil in the fire with Ogier throwing snow:D - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AjIuFdgsPxE
