Interesting how there is again a driver with fewer issues and punctures than the rest. He is probably just lucky like Loeb and Ogier. /s

I still think it's a miss from both M-sport's perspective in the Constructors title & Neuville's & Tänak's title ambition, also Breen would benefit from team mates that can teach him a thing or two about winning rallies.
Exactly what I thought when I saw the youtube footage.Quote:

ℹ️ Unfortunately @AdrienFourmaux
’s car undertook too much damage in his accident earlier today, meaning the crew will be retiring from the event.
Kalle has been in the "zone" all season. He escapes all offers of potential errors, and is lucky!
Fords feeling of utter happiness after MC, has gone and they need better and mor,consistant drivers, in a very good car!
Neuville handed with additional 1 minute time penalty and 2 days of FIA public service for both Thierry and Martijn. If police would have catched them that would have been few months without drivers license so they still got away pretty lightly.

As much as there should be harsher penalties for bad road behaviour, this becomes a joke compared to the 0 seconds penalty Ogier received in last year's Rally Croatia after running a red light and disobeying a police officer. What a pathetic penalty consistency.Quote:

Ouch for Neuville
is this the first time in recent years where FIA actually does something results wise ?
Ooh, dear!!Quote:

History repeat? Hyundai made wrong tyre choice also last year on Saturday
Mr Penalty-boy Neuville was 1min late to TC after service and +10s for him :D
Loubet a lot faster than Gus, 13s faster
Solberg changing tyre?
Solberg stopped
At least the new Platak stage, closer to the sea, seems to have rain on itQuote:

People at SS9 reporting rescue vehicles / fire trucks on the stage. Stage start is stopped for the moment.
Neuville said he saw a car, but didn't see who's was it.. on a fast section
Thierry said it was on a fast section - he couldn't tell who crashed. EDIT TypeR beat me to it!Quote:

I'm no fan of Thierry, just sounds completely absurd to me.
