Hopefully Mikkelsen had some technical learning while at vw. Hopefully it is not a Mitsubishi/ Makinen situation and only drivers with a similar driving style could ever get a reasonable speed out of the car.

Paddon said the rally finland i20 wrc front diff was similar to the 2016 diff so it has taken more than a year and half to get back to a 2016 'feeling'. So by that measure it could take till the middle of 2019 for Mikkelsen to be comfortable with the i20?

Amazing rally by Tanak, great job. If his car won't betray him, he can fully get back in the title fight.
Great pace by Ogier, 4th + PS win is actually a very good result, considering his mistake could have costed him to super rally for the 3rd day.
Neuville not on pace with his rivals here, but he didn't make mistakes and got a good 2nd place as reward.
So now 23 points between him and Ogier in the classification. One DNF and Ogier might be the leader again, and people were saying the championship was over...

Congrats to Tanak Jarveoja for a well deserved win.
Tanak really could be a championshipcontenter,but Neuville have shown amazing mature,and he can gets good points even at rallies he is not fast.
Tanak at the moment is the best driver,fast at every surface,but too little rallies to steal the crown.

Citroen a real disaster.They still support Lefebvre to show how fast is their new r5 car.

Citroen need a break from the WRC for a couple of years and come back when they got themeselves sorted. Really need a fresh start.
