Eddie, firstly, I am not the only one who thought he was bluffing... Neuville also said it. Secondly, stuff like this goes on all the time in all sorts of sports and certainly in motorsport. People bluff, make stuff up etc. etc.

I don't have evidence, of course I don't... if I did, the whole world would, because I would be one of the last to know.

Yes, you're correct, Neuville gave it everything on the last stage, because he didn't believe Ogier!

Finally, if the car was as bad as he said, do you honestly think he could set the times he did? - Like you said, he still beat Neuville on the last stage... when he's driving a WRC car to the absolute limit, but with a throttle he knows may stay 20% open... come on, he would have definitely left a little in reserve so he didn't have a horrendous accident if he really did know there was an issue.

Of course I may be wrong, but this is just my opinion.
