"The rear snapped again, I just lost control and I knew I was never going to get it back,” Solberg explained."

Oh man that's not good. He's not in a good place for sure. He got pushed too much too soon and I suppose he's not well balanced emotionally either. Best thing for him is out of the Rally1 immediately, and a year or two in WRC2. That did good for Tanak and Evans for example.
Oliver obviously has a lot of talent behind the wheel however just wonder if the Solberg hype machine has just built him up to be something he just quite isnt yet at least. Not sure how much "influence" Harri had with Toyota but it didnt seem to me to be anything on a par with Petter's omnipresent status at Hyundai in the past. Maybe a condition of the personal backing that Oliver has means that he has to be everywhere on social media with too many distractions however Kalle has managed to fit in a bit of drifting etc and just seems to be getting on with the job calmly. Will be intersting to see if he has many more outings in the R1 car after Ypres at this rate.
Tänak so committed and flat-out, huhhh....
Hearing Tänak's comments he scared himself on that stage :D
He said to Martin at the stage end: really unconfortable and Martin answered, yes.
