No need for team orders. It’s great to see Paddon at the top again, but let’s be fair: he got a much favourable road position than Neuville and the Belgian is only 8s behind him.
Great rally from Toyota guys (with Lappi confirming his amazing talent) and Tanak. Bad day for Ogier; the 41s lost to Paddon aren’t surprising, but the 32 to Neuville (2nd on the road) seem a bit too much.
But Ogier’s bad day is nothing compared to Citroen nightmare. Maybe the C3 really has some tech issues (it’d be nice to see Breen’s footage) but sadly there’s no room for doubts on Meeke’s driving issues: he’s a ‘crasher’. On the top there’s also this poor pace from Mikkelsen, the one that was expected to save Citroen…it’s getting hard to see how they’ll manage to turnaround current situation. Still, fingers crossed for them: WRC needs a strong and competitive Citroen team!Rally addict since 1982

What? The hybrid i20 in 2022 and 2023 was one of the most unreliable rally cars ever made, not even prime Loeb could have won the title with a car whose suspensions would fall apart on road sections....
