Ogier in front of Mikkelsen

[KKS]

Oh Lappi on a run!!!

[krissucool]

Is Camilli a snail or is the Ford really this bad?

[AnttiL]

Mikkelsen was again fast on the small road. Only Lappi was a tenth quicker

[Fast Eddie WRC]

A stage with a Citroen 1-2 ... who would've predict that.

And Ogier is using the upgraded front axel and Lappi isnt. Just shows a lot is personal preference or even psychological.

Bit of both?

Definitely, confidence is a huge factor so whatever setup makes the driver confident is probably more important than the theoretical performance potential of the setup.

I think it was Colin McRae once said that the difference between the top 5 or so drivers on any given day was 95% confidence.

Neuville trying Novikov on the jump?

This stage is definition of rally heaven

Hyundai with top speed only around 185 km/h?

Confidence matters little on slow technical sections, but trusting it will stick makes a huge difference on fast flowing sections or jumps.
