Neste Rally Finland 2017

SS10 - Neuville down on all the splits (except Sordo) ..

Manu points reward just finishing over a high place by speed. Maybe why Neuville is scared to go for the win here...

I think sometimes drivers use manufacturer points as an excuse. I really doubt that's the reason Thierry isn't on the pace. And besides, the more points he has the more benefit for both championships. He has a golden opportunity this weekend.

This is going to end with 3 Toyotas on the podium.

Suninen was slower than Tidemand in both Sweden (1 min behind) and Portugal and much slower than Mikkelsen in both Portugal and Corsica. Just saying.

I wish him well ,but please no over-hype too early.

Skoda vs Ford too. His pace against Tidemand was better in last season when they both had Skoda. Just saying.

[N.O.T]

stupid decsion by neuville to have that pace on a long day like this... Ogier can even extend his lead on this rally...

Maybe Neuville bets on the misfortunes of others to gain places.

Agree, but R5 class isn't the same as wrc class, Lappi wasn't fastest at every rally in R5 i believe, but in a WRC car he is impressive so far. Somehow i think Sunninen is the same case.

R5 would be good solution, but WRC even better of course, but thats a lot more expensive off course.

Yeah it's not a clear picture, also for a Fin his Corsica pace was quite good. Was just meant as a quick reality check when he is already being announced next WDC.

Lappi on pace to take the lead!

I think it's a big thing for Hyundai. They would prefer the Manu title over the Driver's if they can only win one.

Neuville emotional at stage end acc to WRC Live.

And Sordo: 'Not enjoying it. My head is not in the race'.
