    Ekstrom himself said it wasn't worse than the turns earlier and he didn't think it was that bad. He sustained no car damage and was back on the track right behind him. Time lost, tenths of a second.

    Now compare that to bring rammed off the track, sustaining damage hard enough to make any other driver in the field park the car and call it the day.

    How can anyone say that's fair?

    Its not good for a world championship when the races is a lottery. Inconseqvent judges is not proffesional, that is a big problem they have to change before next season.

    There will be no new rule in 2017 because that is their will: they don't want Petter on the highest step of the podium.

    But if Petter gets manufacturer support next year (rumours say Hyundai) they won't have any problem with him on the highest step of the podium anymore...

    He's doing some testing with a car back home in Torsby. It's not a Hyundai. But nothing is final yet.

    Different scenarios. Unfair to compare.

    'They' pay a significant chunk of his entry - these therories are getting out of hand.

    I think that this year they were keen to have someone else win, but don't feel they overly orchestrated the championship. I do think that both Baumanis and Timerzyanov should have had penalties for their driving yesterday. Both were far more aggressive than Solberg's move at Latvia...likewise (and much as I'm a big fan) Bakkerud has been very aggressive and Timmy Hansen pulled a strong move on Nitiss (??) in one of the qualy rounds (possibly Q3).
    You're so beige, you probably think this signature is about someone else.

    Wasn't it Baumanis who got a joke penalty in Belgium so Duval could advance to the final? Officiating is extremely dubious in this sport.
