    Every champ has narcissistic qualities... Every single one. It's part of the game.

    I was talking about interviews and those seems to be role-play for me. Why to "argue" with something with different topic? Two out of context comments in row.

    And on time - no over-play interview from Adamo.

    Not surprised Hyundai handed yet another win to Ogier. Their cars are just too fragile, you can't win championships like that. Neuville and Tanak are not dumb, they know how to win rallies and how to lift, but they can't do much if the car breaks down for every small thing.
    Same for Ogier being super smart... he is very consistent, but what's so smart in just driving and waiting for the Hyundais to DNF without the drivers even committing big mistakes? Hardly a genius "strategy".
    What a boring championship...

    The problem is not adamo, nor neuville nor any other driver. If the rear wheels fall off every single rally, often mutiple times, that's a problem with the design.

    So the problem is the people responsible for the technical side. Either the design is wrong, the quality control is not good enough or they don't replace parts often enough.

    But since its not only the rear suspension but other things that should never happen, like Tanaks windscreen heating, i asssume it's mostly a problem with quality control checks.

    Tänak and Neuville should go flatout all the time. The car only breaks when they're in comfortable lead and taking it easy.

    Yeah seems that people are searching for drama and to make a story but there is really none here. Katsuta knows his place is secured in the team with such performances but he's not fighting for the championship. A 2nd is great, would be stupid for him to fight Ogier and risk anything.
