    Absolutely. Think Julian Porter was expecting more drama, he seemed surprised of Adamo's calm reaction

    A Rally2 car in the top 5 is just embarrassing for the championship, at this stage. I don't think the new Rally1 cars will have been such a great idea after all.

    No answer to resent post.

    We know Huttunen and Ostberg are fast. But what about Marco Bulacia? He´s done very good for a long time and have a stunning development curve.

    Yes but only 4 of them haven't gone into Super-Rally.

    That's sugar-coating it, they need to work on their questions, and honestly if you haven't got anything to ask (which honestly they didn't) and you're trying to get a reaction for the sake of the reaction or drama, just leave that person alone. I saw in his reaction, he was holding himself from saying anything offensive to them, although he did say and I quote:'I'm sure you did better questions in your life' . They need to work on their commentary in-between and during stages but that's off topic and for the WRC+ thread.

    I agree. If there is validation "do you have anything to share?" and if the answer is no, then it's enough to say to the audience that they don't have or don't want to share any information. Making those "we have seen everything like you have seen in All-Live" is a bit waste of time. But it's question of taste, some may like it.

    Was out on stages of a local rally whole day (and saw Henning Solberg who btw. was the first guy to run to help when a Polo R5 rolled). Was only following results and watched just some vids now.


    Ogier is just amazing, even without Tanak's retirement he would have ended 2nd on a sweeping rally from first on the road. That's almost VW-like dominance.

    Tanak's list of retirements and issues is now so long that it certainly isn't just "bad luck". Whether it is due to how he develops the car, how he sets-up the car or how he drives it is hard to tell. Probably a bit of all. One thing that is clear to see is that both at Toyota and Hyundai he made the car "dive" and transfer weight with roll much more than before and much more than others did. Anyway I don't remember him having many issues in 2017 Fiesta which he also helped develop.
    In either case the statistics are quite large now.. Similarly Neuville has a long list of retirements, but for him it's basically almost always clearly his fault.

    Rare mistake from Sordo, can't even remember last time he crashed out that was clearly his fault, probably Spain 2017 and Germany 2017 or something like that.

    Disappointment of the rally is Neuville though, was 2nd last year on a rally that usually suits Hyundai and is somewhat nowhere. Reminds a bit of his 2019 performance here.

    In addition to these 3, Loubet's Hyundai broke like every second stage?
    ------

    Huttunen staying close to Østberg (with penalty) in a private-run I20 in basically his first rally of the year without any testing (afaik) is great. Likely won't be able to hold him off and wouldn't want to risk it, but nevertheless great. Especially compared with the Hyundai "factory" R5s results so far this season.
