[WRC] Rallye Monte Carlo 2022

[Essaj]

Front lights on new Huyndai was mounted into a bumper, so Oliver lost front bumper and has no lights. And must drive with no lights on public roads at the night? I think it banned and Oliver should take a DQ for that?

That's way more dangerous than driving on one rim, so I kinda agree

[AnttiL]

I think rules state that lights and mirrors must be fixed at service…and no service today

It's 0.56s/km to shut tomorrow, Kalle had 0.39 on Craig today. Kalle can continue as today but will need Craig to drop time which I don't think will happen.

First and second in Sweden is not worth fighting over.

I noticed the Pumas and i20s didn't have taillights in EV mode through Monaco on Thursday, I didn't see the Yaris. Found that odd, so this is just bizarre. Oliver needs a break but DQ is not what he deserves.

has Kalle commented what did they change or do?

amazing turnaround from two previous days

he looked hopeless on Thursday but his pace today showed just what a mature driver he is already. keeping it on the road when not at ease and pushing comfortable when the setup is right.

I found the Ogier vs Loeb tactics on last stage really interesting. Highlighting two points that actually overlapped each other here.

- Ogier is "obsessed" with Loeb and beating him. I think a lot of people still remember Mexico 2018 and we get this confirmed everytime they meet and Loeb is competetive.

- Ogier is a master at keeping focus on the important stuff. Here, only thing that mattered was pace vs Loeb. It didn't matter which tirechoice was best what mattered was that Loeb didn't get a chance to do a very different stagetime. That's why Ogier won so many close championships and that's what for example Evans lacked in Monza 2020.

He could or got to the technical/media zone in daylight. And then gone into service in the dark... Service is closed roads

you cant have such conclusions when the one is retired and 48 years old,straight after dakar,with new team/mechanics/car/gravel crew/co driver,with minimum test.
Both are the best rally drivers ever,each one at their era.
What Loeb did at this Monte is unbelieavable.
He just prooved why at his golden years didnt lost from anybody.

Neuville gets reprimand for hybrid rules breach

Use of his i20's internal combustion engine in a tire-fitting zone has drawn the ire of Monte stewards
