yes did him good the absence of useless pressure from Wilson.Quote:

The second run will be interesting to follow, in order to see if the differences will remain identical to the first run...
Good job by Tanak considering his road position this is a leading pace.
I agree with you when you say DMACK was a good option for him. This year he had not pressure because when he failed he could blame the tires and when he went fast it was because of him. This help him to work to improve his driving. Of course he has still lot of work to do.
A pity he's not given a chance with a bit more competitive car but that's a chance one can earn...
Top sportsmen thrive on pressure. If you think driving for M-Sport is pressure, try driving for a manufacturer (like Citroen).Quote:

yes but Tanak wasn't a ''top sportsman'' Wilson knew that,so his pressure was stupid.Quote:

No patience and no will to spent money= ridicoulus decisions.as you saw this year,with Tanak being faster from ''official'' Msport drivers.
That's the reason why Wilson is so patience with Camilli this year.
How do You know?Quote:

He means that Ford is not slow but their drivers are. Tänak proved that Ford still can challenge for wins.Quote:

What a rally! I'd like to see Ott with a Top Car for two or three years in a row. But I think that next year he will race with M-Sport.
I think that Ford is at least one step below the other competitors.Quote:

spot on!!!Quote:

No you cant win Ogier with not competetive car, at straight fight with not any advantage as today stage.Quote:

DMack is still MSport btw, just different tyres.
When was Meeke driving for Malcolm?Quote:

What happened to Ingram ?
Team now recovering ADAM #87 from @WalesRallyGB SS2. Once fixed @ChrisIngramGB @EAERallying aim to re-start under SuperRally rules.

You think driving for Wilson's private team is more pressure than Matton's multi-WRC winners Citroen ??Quote:
