Rallye Deutschland 2014

[HaCo]

Another besttime for JML, he doesn't look like cruising. Controlling at a very high speed.

Only 1,7 faster, that is not really putting the rest in shame. Of course he is in the dirt.

sometimes it is easier to go at the pace you are used to... Loeb mentioned many times while ridiculing hordes to paper champions that when he tires to down his rythm it was easier to make a mistake.

That was Loeb. I hope that Jari wont take any risks. 50+ seconds is really a comfortable lead.

That is true. Classic example that slowing down is dangerous is 1982 Swedish rally where Mikkola went off and lost a certain win (and Audi quattro maiden win for that).

if Latvala won't make a mistake/off/puncture, looks like first Tarmac win for him and a very good step forward in the championship

He'll still be trailing Ogier by some 20 points (depending on PS result) and there are two tarmac rallies left for Ogier to win and two gravel rallies for JML to try to offset that. JML winning here would surely balance the championship but Ogi's lead is still very convincing. Unless he makes a habit of crashing out.
