Crazy Tanak in there
Ott with a quite shitty mood this morning..car not working like he wants
Camilli would be the wrc2 leader after problems for Kopecky
Very fast tyre change for Kopecky, only 1.30 mins
Anyway a bit of a letdown from Panzerplatte. Much smaller differences than last year, even less than second pass last year (first pass was damp),
Breen doing good,was expecting him to be 4-5 already yesterday.
Hyundai 3rd and 4th now and Thierry doing what he needs to do for the championship - driving sensibly. Car is not perfect but that'll be no excuse for Mikkelsen when he is getting destroyed by his two team mates regardless.
Tanak looks to still be in control so far this morning despite not seeming too happy with the car/setup. Unless he makes a mistake I can't see him losing this on speed alone to Ogier.
Evans has gone backwards following a promising second loop yesterday.
Breen has been a bit more pacey in these two stages but his rally is over and he has nothing to fight for. Citroen have stood still on tarmac from last year imo, while other teams have improved. Partly understandable considering how much work that c3 has needed on gravel.
Just saw some photos of Solans. He had a really big off at the Panzerplatte!
1 or 2 places up are possible for Breen. Also there was not a single big moment/retirement/tire issue for any WRC yet, imo unlikely it will stay like that whole weekend.
I share your view on Citroen though, somehow it was also visible on Corsica. They kept speed on tarmac but others have closed up.
Toyota should hire three Tänaks to show car's full potential. Lappi seems to be lost talent compared to high hopes that was targeted to him based to pre-Toyota era. Latvala, well what can you say - running in WRC more or less full time from 2003. Maybe Lappi and Latvala has to stop whining and use more time by taking driving lessons from Tänak.
