Your intellectual properties seams to be on the low side. Hope you can bare with it.

Ok let's go with your logic and presume Adamo has instructed Mikkelsen to be the slowest WRC driver, miles off the pace and lose like 30s a stage to the likes of Loeb. Whatever makes you feel better

Did Adamo make that instruction after seeing Mikkelsen perform really well in Argentina? And think nah that's not right, it's much wiser to instruct him to be miles off the pace instead ?

Evans moment on SS7 is at 2:32, he even starts shouting expecting a crash. Could have ended in nasty roll if the side kicked him up. He has a very similar small moment at 4:00 as well and still posted 3rd fastest time. Some nerves.

I have to agree that it looks a bit unlucky for Meeke that he rolled, could easily just have bounced off and carried on like so many others do...

"We drove well, we had a good rhythm in the stages. No fault, it's nickel, I have a good feeling with the car. I liked the second and third stages of the loop. We try to enjoy it, it was pretty good. I'm starting to understand how the Hyundai works. I feel pretty comfortable in it for now, let's hope it lasts. Differences with cars driven in the past? It's a bit in the way of riding. The Citroën required a little cleaner driving. You have to be a bit more aggressive with the Hyundai because it's slipping, "Loeb told our microphone.

The 45-year-old Frenchman also delivered his opinion on the violent accident in Neuville. "Thierry's exit happened at a pretty hot place. It's a very fast right turn. It would go to absolute depth, but it is located on a hump. The load shedding makes you lose grip. It's not far from going through, I think. I dropped the pedal a little too much. This is where we see the difference between the fiery, those who think more and the old. Meeke went to the bottom, Ogier had noticed perhaps thoroughly ... me I did not even imagine going to the bottom. I did not see her cabriole, I do not want to see her. We know that today's cars are solid. It is true that it is hot: one rolls all the same block in sometimes hostile places. They are solid, but not shatterproof, "analyzed Loeb with maturity.

Lol is that Loeb effectively saying Meeke is a nutcase? Haha

Latvala's issue is in the Saturday highlights. Not easy to see much but he is not really off the road, but runs over some stone. Kinda reminded me of Solberg in Japan once upon a time.

For Meeke's off they don't show the moment he had 2 corners before that imo might have caused him to loose concentration, so go on onboards if you want to see it. Also for Evans moment they picked the worst camera.

But I'm most interested in SS14. Crazy fast stage on narrow roads with less camber.

Was wondering whether Ogier or Loeb should have an advantage. Ogier has some more experience with the car on gravel (Mexico) but last year the car didn't do well on these kind of stages. Hyundai should be good, but Loeb has not driven it on stages like that.

Very hard to predict.
