He couldn't believe it. Maybe the wet tyre was on the front left didnt grip and gave the understeer ?

Interesting decision now for Evans. Take some pace out and safely finish in 3rd in front of Taka or keep pushing to get 2nd and capitalise to the max from Ogier‘s mistake?

Wtf? First real mistake this year, this will be his first result outside of podium and you have already buried it.

Tanak has 43 points handicap, Kalle and Evans have advantage.

Kalle
"Not enough. I was quite careful, but to be honest the condition is super difficult. Not happy with the stage, but we're here so it's positive"

Yeah, they don't move and make little noise, one rarely sees forest for the trees.

Seriously though, I mean, there were no other trees before or after it and Ogier plunges right on that sole one.

He acts like that but he has never not been emotional, and I'm not talking about good, passionate emotions.

It is crazy that anyone is taking anything he says serious anymore. Second year in a row where he "doesn't care for the championship", yet here we are.

Drivers' championship as it stands currently:
Evans 239
Rovanpera 228
Ogier 224
Tanak 196
Neuville 172

Wtf? What have I buried?

Last year he was under pressure to catch Thierry in overall standings and made mistakes 3 rallies in a row.

Now Kalle put him under pressure yesterday evening and today and he made a mistake.

What I am saying that if you actually put him under pressure and he has to try then he also makes mistakes like all of the people do.

I have buried nothing, he is still the favorite to take the championship in the end.
