[WRC] News & Rumours (part V) 2017

[AMSS]

If you measure potential of WRC car based on ranking, you are way off. Ford will be cham, so what? Does it make it best car? Of course not. Proper Tech Benchmarking will put Ford way back.

Ok please show us all the Proper Tech Benchmarking

So what? He needed one event to get use to it. Ogier need how much? 2-3 years?

No, he's leading the championship. Mikkelsen is nowhere near that level.

Ok, I give up, you win. Lets follow the rally now.

Listening to the pre event interviews, it seems that drivers are quite harsh towards there team management.
Meeke said the team is unstable becaue of the decisions by the management and they really need stability now.
Also, Sordo stating it's not fair to drop Paddon. They should have had more patient with him, as often the lack of result was due to technical problems.

Neuville is the champ for 2017 in my book. In Ogier's defense, his car is not up to the job, but that's something Ford boys are constantly denying. In any case, we can all see that Ogier (and probably Loeb) are not super humans if they don't have superior machinery in their hands.

Boy, you are totally helpless

[Frostmourne]

In my book, M-Sport deserve the championship for all those years commitment to the WRC and the sport in general. Although I wished others driver would get the championship... but Ogier was super consistent and driving smartly where others were fast and maybe driving recklessly..

This was neuvilles championship to win, but he lost it because of his own mistakes. 20+ points in monte, 20+ points in sweden, +-20 points in spain. He could have been leading the championship by a big margin.

True about Neuville. That cut in Germany says a lot and then 3 more in Spain. And still we see a lot of cutting by Sordo and Mikkelsen in powerstage, like they have learned nothing by the weekend... Sorry but better have a little slower time than retiring immediately. And more chances for beating Ogier

exactly... potato dog is nothing... he lost the championship to the slowest ford of the season... back in the potato field where he belongs.

But what about his performance in Argentina? He did pretty well. Like Ogier last year in Spain. He took all and win
