    I believe this was just the thing we needed to see the championship go right down to Wales Rally GB!

    FIA probably wanted to keep the championship fight alive somehow - hence no DQ...

    Bah ! I wonder... did Citroen guys think they'll get past this ? Let's change the spring, nobody will see it (or else) ... ?

    Very strange to have now a 2007 title handed to Loeb and now the 2009 one to Hirvonen (maybe ^^), but since the 1986 Markku Alen title robbed I'm not surprised by anything, ever.

    Hmmm... I don`t think that Loeb & Citroen will give title to Hirvonen without fight. It will be a great end of a season...

    It is far from over yet.

    Deserving a title is also about finishing a rally (in the points), and if Loeb does fail in that and Hirvonen succeeds in that, then Hirvone deserves the title. Mikko finished higher in point more often then Loeb , so he is the champion then. besides, Loeb has been WRC champion for 5 times in a row. The hard time of winning is not winning anymore.

    You are right of course, it's just going to feel like Mikko 'lucked into it' a bit though instead of taking the bull by the horns and deserving it on outright performance.

    Yeah, that was very easy way to escape for them. But I think that it is more like management problem that those non-homologated springs were there. Actually I cannot imagine what is the explanation for that?
