[WRC] Vodafone Rally de Portugal 2025

[EstWRC]

Ott said to Martin that it feels like a completely different car, lots of understeer.

Understandable. Totally different stage surface wise than the two previous ones

Great time by Fourmaux.

So Neuville finally woke up?

Edit: No

So Neuville finally woke up?

He just doesn't seem as fast/comfortable with hybridless + Hankook compared to hybrid + Pirelli of last year.
Some stages good, some stages not so good...

So Neuville finally woke up?

Edit: No

No, not until tomorrow. His habit is to lazy down on first proper day, then stage more or less successful comeback later.

Fourmaux to take the lead? He's already even with Tanak at split 4.

[EstWRC]

Great morning, very close gaps and battles thanks to the fact that it’s not cleaning as much.

Rovanpera on hard tyres? And the rest on soft?

[meh]

Interesting to see what Rovanperä and Evans can do on the 2nd loop. Ogier did a really good stage for his road position, and Tänak did a good stage considering incorrect tyre choice.
