Shut up

Keep it civil

Don't think Ogier's suspension has survived that... Gift wrapping the Constructor's to Hyundai. And an opening for Tanak...

Meanwhile - the Saturday points top4 are in 1.2 seconds. Quite important points to collect.

I feel like I am watching the changing of an era.

You sure do. Must be.

Sunday standings will be also decided by power stage

Just 1.2 seconds covering the top4 at the moment

Amazing…like others have said, seeing this many errors from Seb in successive rallies is so unusual. To say it’s surprising is an understatement.

Another thing you can see clearly in this stage is that the last sector is just 0.6km of flat out road, and the Ford’s are losing 3 or 4 tenths in both passes in just that sector. It highlights what they are missing from the engine, tough to make up for that.

Next stage will be tasty, I’m sure now Neuville is doing the math if he can wrap it here and now; Honestly annoyed at the fact the last round will be on the other side of the world, with 1.2 viewers at 3am. This easily could’ve been the final round or at the very least, give us a european round to end the season with.

So everybody wins a place on the Saturday points. But difference Tanak and Neuville stays 5 points there.

Big incentive for Tanak to go full attack on Power Stage. He can grab back 4 points on Neuville if he catches Katsuta (Super Sunday) plus the points difference for the Power Stage points itself.

From 29 points difference before CER to probably about 17 - 19 points before Japan. Very good rally from Tanak.

Ogier crashing in all last three rallies he participated, getting old or can't handle the pressure. Karma hitting him after his harsh words on Neuville.
