    That's easy:
    Neuville -driver mistake
    Tanak - weak car
    Sordo - bad luck

    At Toyota it's:
    Evans -bad luck
    Ogier - stupid organisers/bad car
    Rovanpera - driver mistake

    Summing up the general pre-assumptions about each driver.

    That's reasonable. 1000 euro is nothing while 25 points is huge. So a heads up not to do it. Was by far not the first time and was not just one word that slipped.

    will start to hear less stage end comments if such things start to happen...

    Year by year WRC is becoming more of a joke! If one can't be allowed to express true emotions without getting penalized, what is the whole point of having incar cameras facing to drivers, or having incar driver sounds or stage end interviews, etc. On stage ends WRC+ could just as well then start to play different PR and advertising scripts send by manufacturers PR departments. To my opinion they should give +25 points to Mads for being human, not a stupid PR robot.
