Not now, Kubica taken the fastest time. He said he isn't going to crash in Sweden, because "this car has to go to Mexico"

Interesting quote from Jari-matti at stage end that he "found something" with regards to setup with the Polo R - "I’ve discovered something important about the car. Things that was working with the old car doesn’t work with the new one"

Going into the last stage, 3 seconds separate Mikkelsen & Ogier - Neuville a further 1.6 seconds back!!

Sweden is Ogier's. Mikkelsen spun, gutted. He was matching Ogier on the splits.

Great sport!

 

[Reno_LV]

Loved it, well deserved! Gutted for Neuville!

 

[ChrisL]

Great run by Ogier... Guy is a machine and I love watching him drive.

Gutting for Mikkelson but all in the joys of rallying...

Impressive run for Abbring I thought!!

 

[DC.]

Think Neuville is the only one who avoided the snowbanks all weekend.

Great lift for Hyundai.

I watched the highlights package of this last night. Anyone who says WRC is a difficult sport to spectate would be eating their words having watched that. Absolutely gutted for Mikkelsen but I'm sure this will give him all the more motivation for the rallies to come.

 

[cormac81]

Watched all the days highlights last night, great rally with an exciting finish but there was a serious amount of post stage interviews.

 

[svensktoppen]

Good grief, I hate Ogier, lol - wins even when he goes off, and by rights should still be stuck in that snow wall like Latvala

Still, hat off, he just cannot put a foot wrong

Decent recovery by Meeke as well.

Good rally, pretty much everyone went off at some point, lol
