[WRC] Rally Turkey Marmaris 2019

[EstWRC]

that was weird from Ott, like on road mode compared to others

Ott is turning into a bit of a moody princess thesedays with his persona and stage end comments. Not like he'll care about that, or what others think if he lands a title though...

He's been the same with all press stuff this week. Starts to be kind of annoying.

Totally ok from Ott's side.. +3-4secs from SSS is nothing if you think that, friday is more than saturday and sunday together..

agreed, he has been like that since Finland IMO, dont know what has happened...for me it seems he is just sick of all the same questions, yesterday two estonian reporters asked exactly the same what Emyr just asked. He doesnt like interviews at all anyway

and during Rally Germany some rumours rose that he and Martin dont get along anymore but those are just unconfirmed rumours so far.

Put yourself in a situation, where you lead the WDC and everybody keep asking same questions over and over again.. You have to keep calm and maybe seem rude or whatever..

My reaction to the stage as well.

It’s his job and he gets paid millions of euros a year to do it.
If he doesn’t want to respect the role of media in Toyota’s involvement in WRC, he can go back to Estonia and do national events...

Well, no...drivers are drivers, not entertainers and PR persons. Dumb questions deserve dumb/straight answers. Be it Tänak, Neuville "i would have won, if...", moody Ogier, or some local quy in his local championship. They can do it, they have the right to do it and it spices things up.


So this really sounds like a problem of modern era snowflakes...

With road position advantage etc, does anyone genuinely think we could get one of Mikkelsen, Latvala, Suninen or Lappi winning this?


I have Ogier favourite and it's always hard to look past the top 3, but I stuck a cheeky fiver on Mikkelsen as his odds were pretty decent at 11/1. If the first loop stays dry and it cleans a lot, I'd like to see at least one of those 4 make a push and challenge for victory. Sordo has great road position and car as well, but with him not being here last year I doubt he can fight for victory. Should be yet another interesting rally nonetheless.
