    I was expecting that Østberg would be slowest "factory" WRC
    "quattro best 4wd rallycar ever"

    When you are down the leaderboard few minutes away from top the leaders speed doen't play that much. Especially if others don't make silly mistakes.

    He lost something like 20s to Suninen/Breen due to the power issue on friday which was teams fault and did some good times on Saturday. Without the time loss he'd be fighting Suninen on Saturday.

    That's quite good considering he has never been good on tarmac and didn't drive it in WRC for 1,5 years now. Obviously it's not very good, but it's not worse than expected either. Off course crashing out with nothing to gain makes it worse.

    Maybe i am nonobjective but Tidemand would be the perfect driver for Citroen. He is good on every surface and very good on testing and development ( a clue are why VW use him so much for testing Polo R5 )

    My "dream team" had been Ogier, Tidemand and Ostberg in the team, one contender for the championship, one contender for podium in the championship and Ostberg as the maybe best no 2 driver on gravel to get manufacture points ( He and Sordo are maybe most safe to score points everywhere on gravel)

    Sordo would score points instead of 2 DNFs this season if he had full season and not only 7 rallies. 'must have results' approach probably made that offs...

    He does exactly the same this season as last year. "Safe" 3rd-4th places on gravel and crashing on tarmac rallies cause he tries too much.(last year he crashed in Germany and Spain, this year Monte and Germany so far). Main difference is that he doesn't have technical issues on gravel this year.

    Sordo and Østberg should share a car. Østberg is good in Finland and Sweden, Sordo is not.

    that means: Ostberg for Finland and Sweden and Sordo for the rest of the season?! but Sordo would score even there from 5th to 9th place...
