Latvala should just give up and move sports (some would say)..

Latvala did what he had to do. And he knew that for him self. Good performance today on long stage.
Big congrat to JML and Mika."Reis vas pät pat kaar vas kut"

I doubt that, if the Champ finishes in the top 3 on all remaining events he will be champ again. If he loses the lead through a DNF (seriously is any one going to get within 28 points?) then he won't be first on the road, his nearest rival will be - cue taking back the series lead again.
Still why let facts get in the way of prejudices !!!
More importantly we must see where our schedules for 10-15 /6 coincide because I am really looking forward to the mirto!! See you in SardeKris Meeke got fired -PSG so terrified they quit!

Big congrats to Jari M.Latvala! I didn't expect a victory from him, after disastrous season he had I thought he won't be pshicialy prepared to fight at the top. Even Ogier was surprised about team mate speed.
For me a positive surprise also young Mikkelsen, no mistakes, solid speed, can challenge Ogier in the future.
Meeke-he is missing so little to be in a contact with VW. But I supose he decided for a safe mode, didn't risk and the fourth place is still a nice result. Tanak also on a safe mode, nothing else was a choice...
Hyundai:except Paddon a race to forget for them.
M-Sport and a new car: sholud be better than the old one, also both private drivers Kubica and Prokop without technical troubles finished the rally and got some points.

Somebody said he had broken rear anti-roll bar so he could hardly go faster.
Prokop had a lot of technical problems. I think only today was without them. He said everything was too much in a hurry and the car was prepared in the last minute before the rally without any test and therefore a lot of issues appeared.Stupid is as stupid does. Forrest Gump

What I have summed up about Prokop - he had difficulties with under&over steering. But this is just a matter of preparations and test, has nothiing to do with technical side(engine,electrics, gearbox....).

Paddon and his team (& Hyundai NZ) seem to be the most positive of anyone about 2027.
