Even if JML and Meeke backed off to the point where Lappi moved ahead into second, that would have been a good team result. I know having the three Toyota drivers fighting was great to watch, but I don't understand why at least one of them was given orders to hold back a bit just in case. Now one has retired and another could have been.

Latvala

Is this a tactical mistake again by Toyota? Meeke out and Latvala loosing (will likely loose a bit in next stage as well) while "fighting" with Tanak when everyone else is down (even Lappi).

In a way this is similar to Portugal. "No team orders" is nice from sporting principle, but maybe not the best idea or winning championships.

EDIT: See that tomhlord has same I idea and I totally agree.

Now all excitement should over. Latvala should watch Lappi and Tanak must be on 'sunday mode'

To finish first you first have to finish....can't stress this enough here in Finland. With all the risks all the drivers are taking, the slightest error can ruin your rally, as shown by Latvala this stage.

oooooh Tommi hard on Meeke!

[mknight]

Tommi says he told them before the rally that they should control it and look around on their positions. Not looking happy.

Saying about JML "Maybe I hope he will learn something"

[KKS]

Very inform interview with Tommi. Seems Meeke will not continue with Toyota next year, and if Latvala calm down and protect Tanak - he will continue next year.

Tommi with some tough words there. Kalle in there asap.
