Rallye WRC Monte Carlo 2019

[Yugo_para_siempre]

What an impressive start of the season was that?

Unbelievable fight for the 1st place and between Loeb and Latvala.

I remember fights that ended up so close in the past, but i do not remember a fight that for 2 days the 1st and 2nd never had a time difference bigger than 6 seconds.
If we take into account that this took place in rally Monte Carlo, that is so easy to encounter big gaps, is even more impressive.

Well deserved win for Ogier, what a talent, what a performance?
First rally, a very tricky one, with the new (not so much appreciated) car and once more he managed to win in a so intense fight.
After the second Turini i really believed that Neuville will bit him, but he managed to answer in the last one.
Very very good performance from Neuville and Tanak too.
As already mentioned from other mates, i expect an even better season this year.

Regarding Loeb, very good performance taking into consideration that he had very limited experience with the car and, moreover, the car seems not to suit him right now.



Regarding the below comment from Neuville.

"It's not really asphalt here, it's a rally where the driver can make a difference. Sébastien Loeb finished I think fourth and quite simply this weekend, we made the difference in the car. We know that we still have to work."

Mr. Neuville that was a totally unfair comment for Loeb.
Before 2017 the Belgian was the no1 of the Korean team, but he never was so dominant within the team and were many times that his teammates bit him.
With this car (from 2017) he is flying compared to his teammates who seem to strugle, at least initially, to get a constant required filling from this car.
Moreover, as said, it was the first kilometers of Loeb with a car that does not seem to suit him right now.
Neuville should give time to Loeb and if the French will not manage to show similar pace with that he showed last year with the C3, a car with many ups and downs, the conclusion for me will be that the Korean car only suits Neuville, and not that Neuville is the god that bits Loeb easily...
