Pirelli may be giving an advantage today.

Could be, Pietarinen also fourth fastest RC2 in Arganil with Pirellis.

Østberg has brake problems and a wheel came off during a road section which then broke a wishbone.

Greensmith quite happy with his WRC1 start and rightly so:

�� “Not a great stage 2, but the rest has been pretty good & the car is so much fun to drive. If we could find a few more tenths per km in the afternoon, I’ll be very happy”. #GG44

Loeb thinks fuel pressure problem is a heat issue.

Loeb thinks fuel pressure problem is a heat issue.

Like I said. If mounting a fuelhose wrong, it could get steamy fuel to hinder the flow. When very hot that is.

Happened even in the 70´s, with Saab V4...

Did Meeke get intercom sorted?

Adamo said "we're not so stupid"

Loeb retired once with Xsara in Turkey due to running out if fuel.

Good view of the surface from Ogier's camera... lots of loose stones.

That would be a fairly stupid mistake on their part. If routing of the fuel line is causing the fuel to boil it's would be a shame.

The Yanks call it vapor lock. Basically fuel starting to boil and dissipate. See the video below and go to 1:35 min.
