With all the lost time the overall result was only of academic interest. We chose to give ourselves better time to service the car, sort out the technical issues and prepare for tomorrows stages. We have only had two days of testing so far and need the milage without pressure, says Mads.

My opology to Toyota. I am very happy to write that.

Vargasen 1 and 2 live on BT Sport tomorrow for anyone in the UK.

Sorry to say, but he is right! The rules stipulate 120 km/h max for stage average. Finland organizers will have to prepare for this issue also this year. Last year saw a record speed of about 126 km/h with 2016 cars of course!

Without flicking through loads of pages, I wonder if the forum lab rat who was so scathing of the Toyota team, will say the same?

Great to see the cars seemingly close on pace, bodes well for the season :)

First off, thanks for not being a NOT and being civilized. :)

I think the stages should go on. In the past average speeds have exceeded the 120 km/h you say above, so there's no reason to enforce them. In addition, Ogier always, no exceptions, will try to get his way by whining and complaining. Hell, the running order change was likely heavily encouraged to the FIA due to him.
