None of the Hyundais did well on PS. They don't seem to be that good on fast open tarmac compared with others.

Rossel was really good with ds3 r5, never heard of him before, checked out is previous results and looks like a really fast and talented guy. Maybe the next Ogier/Loeb?

This was pure mindgame by champion. Last comments and things from Ogier were that he has problems with car, so, Sordo was not expecting him to catch up. Actually, Ogiers car worked basically 100% on that last stage and if you look at Sordos face at the finishline then you realize that he was surprised!
And one more thing, if you look Hyundai perfomance, then they were very OK early in the morning, and they were nowhere when temperature raised.
Morning run in SS5 asfalt temp was as low as +9 degrees and maximum less than +20 and in the afternoon, the same stage over +30 degrees and reaching +40 in some locations, while in some location, it was still around +15, so, big contrasts Novella 2 was different, we do not have benchmark as Ogier had problems here and if you look at Neuville on that last stage, he was 110 % all the time and he had several lucky moments in this short stage. I must say that Novella stage is getting worse and worse each year, it is almost like full gravel already! Look at the dust cloud behind the cars!Colins Crest = Möldri Mätas

Sebastien Ogier on the FIA press conference made some complaints.
Basicly, he complained for:
- Having the most reliable of all Fiesta WRC 2017;
- Had lose 50 secs with two problems in a rally, when usually a problem in the 2017 Fiesta made the divers lose minutes;
- Being one of the drivers that more times runned out of the road this year without any damage on the car.Three gears are enough!

No mindgames, it simply was an intermittable problem. Find and read Ogier's quotes dimvii posted back.
I am a nice guy and will give you some knowledge for free. When somebody picks something up he raises it. When something just goes up like the sun ot the temperature it rises.
A nice analysis from the rally: https://dirtfish.com/rally/wrc/what-we-learned-from-rally-italy-sardinia-2024/
