[WRC] Vodafone Rally de Portugal 2019

Starting later is fine by the rules. Intentionally stopping in the stage is dangerous. It's scandal.

a) It's not fine by the rules, people get (time) penalties for that. It's just that the penalties don't hurt them.
b) Intentionally stopping would have been a scandal (but actually not against the written rules afaik) and FIA would have probably reacted....which is likely why it didn't happen.

Seb first got owned by Sordo and Loeb starting in front of him and then Tanak put the final nail in the coffin at the PS.

Ogier is butthurt for sure. Adamo is ruthless by all means whether he ordered Sordo to stop or not. Remember Sordo is really good friends with Meeke so maybe Meeke passed this info along to Ogier.

Good image sequence of the Greensmith jump. Shows clearly that the wheels aren't aligned correctly already while the car is airborne.

Come on now...

what do you mean with this?

They get along really well after being teammates.

In Tänak movie Ogier said that he doesnt have many friends in WRC but Ott is one of them.

And the Tänak move at the end of power stage didnt bother him at all IMO. They were already joking and laughing on the podium after the stage and on the ceremonial podium.

Comfortably, if Ogier sees no chance of becoming a champion, he will help Tannak everywhere. I'm sure 100%

I was referring to the comment of Tänak being the only driver Ogier is kind to, which I think is quite an overstatement. In Finnish interview just before Portugal Lappi said that they get along really well with Ogier, and he really likes to work with him and learn from him. According to Lappi everything is really open between them, and he goes on to say that Ogier is much more nice and friendly than what people usually think of him.

ah okay...all clear then.

Any rallycar.

In a world rally car I'm not super convinced. They have not competed against each other in one and comparing their deficits to the leading stage times, their difference in s/km is negligible.

Finally resting from 3 fabulous days of another fantastic Rally de Portugal. Beautiful stages, amazing drivers and probably the best cars that ever run the WRC provided the passionate crowds a first class show, proving that we are really living a golden rally era (please FIA, don’t ruin it with expensive Hybrids or useless EV’s).

It’s hard to stand out a crew or a team on this event because here and there they all managed to impress; from the evergreen Sordo to the inexperienced Greensmith, from the usually less fortunate Suninen to the always efficient Tanak, they all deserve hats off. Actually, when we’re spectating the drivers efforts to dominate those incredible machines in the most challenging roads under extreme conditions (I wonder how hot it was inside those cars this weekend), it makes one realize how unfair we tend to be behind a PC, over criticizing their mistakes.

Congrats to the winners and their competitors; a special applause to the organizers for providing us a fantastic event and the return of Arganil legendary routes. It’ll be hard waiting for 2020!

Like Lappi would say that he doesn't get along with his team mate, common.

But I like this rivalry between all of them, it gives some extra spice to this great season. Sport without real rivalry is boring. Adamo's arrivaly is most welcomed from this aspect.
