    This is his 4th NORF. Although he is having first season with R5 car. He did two seasons good times in Finnish Championship with old Mitsu evo9. Before that couple of seasons with Fiesta R2. He has much less rallying experience than Kalle Rovanperä for example.

    btw. some guy called Ogier had his first JWRC season in age of 25. I'm not saying Pietarinen is the next Ogier, but for sure he has still a lot potential to unleash.

    Interesting day. Nice to see Ostberg and Citroen up there, I don't think he'll hold the pace for the whole rally but let's see. I hoped something more for Latvala but a podium would be nice at this point. Curious to see the pace Ogier and Neuville will have tomorrow.

    I just realized that Lefebvre is here. Any news on what happened to him. He just disappeared after a crap second stage and is shown in the rally2 retirements.

    Yeah but that's just the thing. This isn't his first season. This isn't even his fifth season. I'm not saying he is skilless but he isn't the new name from Finland. I've been wrong before but I'll eat my shoes if he is.

    It's same story as for Tanak, when you was a champion not because you a great driver - but just because all other's make it for you.

    Ogier want a better starting position for tomorrow? - Fight for it! be fast and you climb a order and will get better position. Did he do that? - nope. He just wait when Evans bring it to him (last season it was a Tanak).

    This is reality kid... the financial benefits of a world championship both on manufacturer and individual level are huge... so no room for that stupid shit you are talking about.

    Go see a movie with that talent less ugly dog Julia roberts if you feel the need for romance in your life.

    Really? Tell that to your favorite team. They didn't do such shit and allow all three drivers to fight, win a rally's and if they can - championships

    Nothing dramatic has happened. M-Sport drivers will be in the same positions tomorrow after the 1st stage. The potential losers would be out of M-Sport team, possibly.

    Watching the highlights and realising that so many driver's just got away with big mistakes.

    More respect then for those that didnt need such luck and especially the top two who were both mega-fast and error-free.
