    If we talk about this seriously for a while

    If there's still any icy sections on the road, there won't be any snow on those sections. Thus Neuville will get to attack that fresh ice with his studs. With every car, it will get more slushy and dirty. The gravel will pull through more with every car and the studs will break more. However, the gravely corners will be faster than if they were icy, if the drivers can see the conditions and trust in the grip. But if there's a clearly icy part and they have lost their studs, they will lose time. Another factor is that if the road will wear out quickly and get rutted, the later runners will suffer. The road could also be difficult for the first car on Saturday, but the starting order is reversed by then.

    I’ve been trying to think who will have the advantage in conditions for Friday, but there are so many variables that I think the answer is it could be anybody!

    Pirelli inserts the studs while the tyre is moulded so they will stick better. It could be crucial in these conditions. Veiby and Gryazin are also on Pirellis.

    Guys, I understand that your blood pressure is through the roof, but relax
    Never stop dreaming because one day it might happen.
