Loeb must interfere with life on Ogier...

How is this start order shuffling benefiting Hyundai ?

Less cars before Ogier, but the same amount before Neuville. Less road cleaning, slower road.

So can a driver just choose where to start, slotting in where they like ?

No...this is basic rules in rallying. If you arrive late in TC, you start later, but you can be only late for 30(?) minutes, otherwise you're excluded. And obviously you get a time penalty for being late in TC. But it doesn't make a difference for these guys, having lost so much already.

Also if they are afraid of any dust issues they could start Sordo before Neuville and just ask Sordo to park the car in the first corner to let Neuville past and give him a 8min interval.

From Germany'11 it's only "just some justice in a sport" ))

When you try to beat the system - system can beat you mr. Ogier!

I said it already when Ogier did it in Sweden that it's crap and they should somehow try to prevent this before it gets crazy....imagine if 2-3 other teams were doing it with their cars at the same time. Organizers can throw schedule out of the window.
