    I think Ogier just took it easier. From all-live they described some technical problems between the stages.

    It's not rare that Ogier has just so good tire-ware, that he can win everything back at the end of the loop when others can not find any grip anymore.

    Might Hyundai ask Sordo to slow down and allow Neuville past to help clean for him tomorrow?

    It's been for years now, and we can only assume it's what the FIA wants because they keep it that way. Just having some old wrc's with kinda decent drivers as the 0 and 00 car would mostly fix the problem, and would also give something extra for the spectators to watch.

    The times just go to show what kind of job both Sebs did in their hey days. That includes Kalle as well.

    Road cleaning is a version of handicapping so the top guy doesn't dominate too much.

    Yes, it works well if all the guys are doing full-season. If guys like Ogier are handicapped other does not have any chance, but ok, they have their own championship game to play with each other.
