[WRC] Rally Finland 2022

And yet he’s in for Ypres…If it’s possible I’d swap him for Sordo in the car, yes I know they’ve given up on this year’s championship but at least for his sake, put him in a Rally2 car for the rest of the season and for the next.

Thats revisionist. Ogier was fighting for the championship in the C3 and was pretty much allways fighting for podium positions. Meeke won two rallies in it, when he drove the Yaris he wasn't a whole lot faster. Just because a bunch of third rate british journalists and other influencer type british rally media people claim the C3 was a disaster its not true. If it wasn't for their darling being shown up, they wouldn't be so busy throwing shit at a car that was competitive enough to win rallies.

Meeke couldn't complain because he was developing the car. Ogier tried hard to keep his mouth shut and managed to do it until Germany (I can't drive this car).

But yeah, it's rare to hear comments like Tänak has been putting out in the last two years.

Re Ogier - he was whining the most, mostly about starting first on the road but don't forget the Shitroen saga. Yes, it was done bu his wife but he complained a lot about that car.

But generally agree - it's getting tiresome to hear Hyundai drivers complaining all the time, they should change the tune!

I don't see previous years as very unnormal (after all he commented on Toyota often in the glory days too).

This year, specially since Portugal it's on a different level.

I agree it's maybe partly because Allive crew focuses on that every single time the car is on screen and in every interview.

All live need to change their line-up alongside Solberg Jr. at the Hyundai team.

"What's happening guys" "The quality is amazing" from Safari 2021 kinda opened the gates

Tweeted once after power steering failed, "complained a lot"

True, but that was reliability, which was clear to see.

Complaining about performance while fighting for win/podiums feels much more out of place.

[Eli]

I don’t know what Neuville is on about, he only finished here once on the podium and that was 9 years ago, even with the best car he wouldn’t be challenging for the win here. The same thing however cannot be said about Tänak, only when he arrived at Hyundai they finally made it to the podium (double) here last year.

I don't think they can continue this weekend
