Exactly. Live wrc text with 4 messages about Ogiers tire issue. No love for Neuville or JML

No reporter so how can they report their comments..

Off and damage to Ogier's car was clearly the story to follow.

Don't know how Becs can be so happy when we just heard Craig is out from Rallye Deutschland....and how come they haven't heard of it?

Sounds like Citroen didnt like Breen's comments yesterday about being scared of crashing their wayward car...

Sounds like Citroen are trying to silence the truth (which is- the car is horrendous) and their drivers are paying for it, honestly how come Matton hasn't been sacked yet?

I disagree. Matton has had many fantastic seasons. Just because of half a failed season you don't sack the head. If the failure is not corrected for next season though, that is when the question should be raised. It's a new season for everyone.

Kneejerk reactions never solved anything.

Reports were that the front splitter had broken and had lifted above the bonnet somehow. So certainly some front end damage beyond the puncture.

Matton has had 5 seasons (not counting the part competing in 2016) - the first was the Loeb finale, nothing to do with Matton. Since then he has chosen so so drivers or failed to back the right horse. I'd say he's been an absolute failure, even given the financial and technical superiority of VW.

He inherited the Ogier situation from Quesnel (I think) and after that there wasn't much choice other than maybe Tänak or Neuville that really could have made an impact. We all would probably have chosen Hirvonen since he was Loebs closest challenger for ages. Meeke seemed a pretty clear choice as well and there were plenty of people here upset that he didn't have a drive. After last season we all would have extended his contract as well, I'm sure.

In my opinion, blaming Matton is a bit ham handed.
