    Nah, in Spain he actually said how hard it is for Neuville to clean multiple times on friday.

    yea yea.. for sure Ogier would prefer Loeb to be back for full season..(to get his 4ss whipped ) I believe that he put it in his contract that Loeb won't/can't be in 3rd car for full season.
    I have had respect for Ogier for long time, but this seems a bit like a crybaby.. Loeb came and showed everybody, why he is 9 time WC. He didn't gain any real advantage of his road position at all. He even gave a ,,handycap'' of ca 10second on SS1 with stalling

    I'll put this in this thread but it covers various subjects. Nice interview with Petter Solberg after Friday in Spain from UK Autocar. Talks about his performance, says that "I will definitely not compete in rallying next year" and talks about the future of WRX.

    Nice to see some British journalistic coverage from someone other than David Evans/Motorsport Network.

    I think Loeb is the greatest ever but I don't think that Ogier is afraid of him and he has nothing to prove either against him.

    Did Neuville complained about Loeb participation at WRC rounds? I'm hearing about this and someone linked this video where Elene replied to him in french https://rmcsport.bfmtv.com/mediaplay...e-1112896.html

    French speaking guys can maybe understand better from the video.
    It seems to me that Neuville said that Loeb interfered to the title fight, and Elena replied that they actually helped him.
    I don't know if Neuville really said that. Maybe it's again that fake-news journal that spread it out. That would be too stupid declaration, even for him.

    Yep, you’ve got it right, but it’s fair to say that apparently Neuville wasn’t making a personal accusation to Loeb (acctualy he praised Seb performance); he just answered a journo question about occasional drivers getting in the middle of the tilte’s figth; most likely, he isn’t the only one thinking it can be a bit disturbing.
