    Oh, I'm sure of that. I feel the same as I did when he crashed out of Argentina last year.

    I also have a lingering fear that his time is running out to win a championship, or that it might be out already. Maybe the Yaris isn't up to the Fiesta's level (let alone the i20), but when he says he pushes he's still not the fastest.

    Or like closing a gate that blocked a rally car during a stage in Mexico. I'm not defending organizers, but let's not pretend there are no ridiculous situations in any other rally.

    He probably did. But I think also he was veeeeeery disappointed from this. As also seen from later pictures.

    I agree, that safety issues on this rally are outrageous, but still, poland should remain in calendar. Probably under different organizer team (with foreign members/advisors), but in the same region and conditions. This event represents whole north-eastern europe rallying in WRC (I mean, road configuration and climate) and should be preserved.
    If not, then bring WRC to Baltics, we have experience with ERC and a lot better spectator control.

    Lottery is on. Prbly a bit of an advantage for Neuville judging by Friday morning, but he has had quite a few small touches into the banks then as well.

    If Neuville wins I think he could go on and win this championship. He's had the raw pace nearly all season to know he can beat Seb in a straight fight. Ott could win here and in Finland too, but I think the rallies like Germany and Spain may mean a championship dream/win is a year away yet. Shame for Jari but his retirement has allowed Paddon to move up, and he needs a result like this to give him a timely boost.
