This was more of a close call than Mikkelsen and a Tractor

Just watched a SSS. What a horrible organization of running order. Latvala and Mads lost ~20sec each cuz of that...
If they do reverse running order it must be a full reverse and not that groups.

Like Malcom said at the end of day press conf it could have been a relay getting stuck open, sounded like all power cut out and the reset made the relay connect again so they changed everything in service. Not sure why Ogier says Hyundai is trying to make a story when there clearly was an issue.

And Ogier gained time on a chicane on a power stage, Neuville stopped completely and lost lots of time, which is two completely different things even though according to the road book you're supposed to go the correct way i guess, Ogier also had 4 wheels off the road on a cut...

Did he really say that? They should cancel times cause some had rain on the stage and some not............really.

Yes he said that, cuz road order not straight and fair. If all have allocated start time as on normal stages - it's normal, it's a rally and it's a weather. But here one drivers do two dry runs and other's two wet runs.

The additional comments by Ogier sound like small children complaining even though they do exactly same stuff or worse.

Ogier complains that "Hyundai always tries something, like with the chicane in Mexico and yesterday they didn't respect the chicane (means Neuville after puncture) and we didn't complain". Pure angels those guys at Msport, except:
- Ogier was the first to create the PowerStage mess in Sweden (which arguably is why FIA penalized him in Mexico for something else) and the 4 points from there will win him the title if things stay as they are
- MSport got Sordo penalized in Portugal for touching stuff on city stage making sure Suninen and Evans get on podium ahead of him. The nasty part is that he was not nominated for manu points and since he was not doing full season he couldn't threaten anyone in driver's champ. either.

Well said. 2 beers.

And with that of mind set Ogier never get any respect even in France, even if he drive a french team with a french car.

Bullshit. I'm talking about the fuss Penasse has spewed yesterday.

Not rumors, Penasse blaming M-Sport for unsporting behavior and will try to find some rule forbidding team orders, totally ridiculous. Ogier just said they are sportsmen enopugh not to hunt Neuville for penalty disregarding the chicane.

But she was completely out of it on the stage I watched, she kept reading notes even after Serderidis said "Finish".
