[WRC] Acropolis Rally 2025

[meh]

A refreshing change to have Mads doing the stage end interviews. They should have former drivers more as the WRC drivers will respect them and answer their questions happily.

It is also vice-versa - due to the respect for drivers, no silly or drama-digging questions are asked.

A refreshing change to have Mads doing the stage end interviews. They should have former drivers more as the WRC drivers will respect them and answer their questions happily.

Not only that, they also know what to ask and read tactics better. Mads just made it obvious how clueless and complacent other interviewer are. I dread not having him for the next rally

We may see some pushing on PS:
* Pajari - need to keep Neuville away from Sunday points
* Neuville - if the car is working, he will go for it. Quite high risk to pick up for punctures, I guess
* Taka - going for push, hopefully does not overcook it (again)
* Rovanperä - never underestimate this dude, but in this rally, he has not been in the flow
* Ogier - in addition to PS points, he may hunt Sunday points from Tänak. The stage is long enough to catch that 5.2 seconds
* Evans - most likely going to decent drive to collect some points, hard to imagine he is willing to take huge risks
* Fourmaux - most likely no push
* Tänak - most likely no push, but he is naturally fast enough to collect some extra points

This Saudi dickriding propaganda is vomit-inducing

Credit to Ostberg for doing the job. I'm not sure there's many other ex-WRC drivers would want to.

As a start order of PS is 'given' by promoter, he can be anywhere. And to prevent this sunday-driving-to-powerstage and this ugly tactic - it better to give: Pajari, Kalle, Taka order. And competly in rules

And they didnt ... so c'mon lets do silly tactics again

1. Solberg

Great win by Solberg, a truly perfect drive.

(Note to the interviewer - he didnt win the rally like his dad in 2004, he won his Class (WRC2).
