    Wasn't that the case in 2015? Ogier still had winning everything.

    Rally2 drivers first + they will be one after another so no big difference (it's not the same reversed because in Sardinia you will have Latvala sixth...)
    + In tarmac-wet gravel-ice they are advantaged.

    Of course it's not perfect system but i think we all agree there doesn't exist one

    That's true but on the other hand they equalize the conditions for the following drivers behind them which may not be that bad idea either. Anyway You can always set different sweeping conditions according to the surface as that is clearly defined for each event in the calendar.

    I don't really understand the whole discussion about the starting order. The rules are what they are, it's up to every driver to do what they can with it. Loeb, Mäkinen etc have been first on the road so many times, who remembers them complaining? On a tarmac events, the ones starting around 10th place are disadvantaged a lot in comparison to the first on the road, who is complaining about it? Ogier is always whining about one thing or another... He's one of the best drivers we've ever seen, with one of the worst personalities. The crap both Ogier and Capito have been selling to the press is probably the worst thing that could have happened to the WRC. It angers me when I see Capito saying "one-shot drivers devalue WRC", while he is the one who was getting close to destroying all fundamentals of the sport with his useless final-stage-plan...

    This. Plus "one-shot drivers" when Meeke competed on 3 WRC events out of 5 until Portugal... I get shivers just to think how it would be if they would follow all his ideas

    This called attack your opposition. It happens when you have done something completely wrong, and defending yourself is pointless, then the only way is to attack. Well known in politics

    To be honest I think some of his recent comments are just thrown in the wind because he knows he's leaving anyway so he can afford to say some random things.
