He let the emotions out, maybe should just skip the stage end interview part but personally I don't mind - if stage end interview is meant to get pure emotion and reaction, you got it. If you don't like it, don't go and ask or watch. Simple as that.

And Bulacia's interviews are like high-school esseys, with the same structure and organized. Some calm description + "Thank you" at the end. Nice own style

I missed the interview, what exactly happened?

Yep, Mads was Michelin user last year. Many others have way more experience with Pirelli.

Which is understandable the times where there has been 12-13 WRC cars. Now there are 9. Doesn't make completely sense.

The tyre saving on Sunday is getting silly...

Yeah. Something has to be done to Sunday stages competition. However it could be the other way around if the time difference would have been only seconds.
But what to change?

I think Torstein's overalls still have the Michelin man.

Number of cars doesn't matter. They need a certain amount of time to prepare the equipment before broadcasting to a number of television companies around the world and that takes a fixed amount of time.

Of course, they could imply a rule that there is no special stages one hour before a live TV stage so we don't have to cut anything. But that would just mean less stages in a rally.
