    Neuville-Tanak parallelism is interesting but we have a lot of differences: Tanak didn't make Neuville's silly mistakes of last year but on the other hand it is true that Tanak has a part of fault on the problems he has had this year and it wasn't only mechanical issues and bad luck.
    This happens when in every rally you go for a win. Cannot blame the drivers for that. Only last year in Sweden the mistake of Neuville was silly but otherwise they both have gone for it.

    Completely agree, but often settling for less than win gives more points at the end of the season. Ogier was superb at that last year, Neuville is getting good at it this year.

    Other drivers do that too, except that they often forget to get out of their car before

    What a fanatstic rally! Honestly it’s hard to understand all this talk about Loeb win making Ogier, or any other current WRC driver, look ridicule. Just like Meeke in 2016, Loeb run a few events without caring about the drivers championship and despite some mistakes (in Mexico and Corsica) was able to show a strong pace and get a win.

    That’s certainly great for Loeb, Elena, Citroen and the WRC, but it’s even greater to have a WDC epic figth, wich only will be decided in the last rally (stage, hopefully) of the season, thanks to the effort and talent of 3 fantastic drivers: Ogier, Neuvllle and Tanak. Congrats to all of them and also to the amazing WRC rising star, Rovanpera.

    yes it makes a difference being in your 30s and a full time rally driver than a semi retired 44 guy...

    no surprise you live in london... lol...

    Not blaming but at the end who makes more points wins the championship and the less mistakes you make the more points you get, along with victories.

    He made Malcolm's choice a bit harder. Question is if it's too late. His only good rally of the season. (Portugal is really hard to count when "everyone" had issues.

    A brilliant last-minute tyre choice made the difference for Loeb today. Not just a great driver but an inspired one.

    Ogier did what he could with poor tyre choices all rally and made no mistakes in all the difficult rally conditions.
