Ogier interviewed on L'Equipe: http://www.lequipe.fr/Rallye/Actualites/Ogier-on-sera-dur-a-battre/356039 …
He thinks that Osterg is his current and future rival (no word about anyone else). I remember a TV interview in 2010 in which Loeb guessed that Ogier would be his rival on the following seasons. This kind of drivers recognise amongst themselves.
Could be a little bit of psychology going on here to make Hirvonen feel even worse? I think that may be just a little part of it. We do not even know if Mads would have held off Hirvonen. It was all to play for when Ostberg retired and Hirvonen went into cruise mode.Quote:

If he does manage to keep the same pace without a major off, it will be a truly epic win of the title for him.

Last year he started the season with a massive off when he tried miracles with the S2000 car - it didn't make him any slower.Quote:

wahou, didn't get much time to follow this rally, but it looks like ogier was just 1 level in front from everybody... 3 rallys so far, and what a demonstration, not very promising for an exciting season...
Maybe Mikkelsen will bring us some excitement! (and challenge ogier???) as for the remaining drivers... Nobody seems to have the speed or the car to match ogier.
What the f*** is happening in Mikko's head?
Go on then!Quote:
