Ya. That would become the stuff of a legend if he manages that. But I’d really really like Thierry to grab this one. He’s been at it for so long with no luck his way. At least he’s doing his part nowadays
@@Rezisorss He is showing great pace. Whoever leads the championship at the beggining of a rally starts first. Which is a disadvantage in gravel rallies because they have to "clean" the road. That's why he gets praysed at 2:58.
I think Sami Pajari did well to go into the grass, if he committed to the corner he might not have made it and could have gone off sideways where the drop to the grass looked higher which would probably have resulted in rolling the car
Such unlucky situation for Kalle :/ I really hoped he would take the win as he definitely deserved it. Ogier is very consistent, it's amazing that he is ahead of fourmaux, Evans and tanak driving half the rallies haha
@@ondraspendlik9759 yes it is true about starting position, but if he fully participated then he would have practiced much more with his car and in some cases try harder to win than simply finishing third or second. Have you checked just this year how many major mistakes (crushes) ALL other drivers did?
I kinda hope Ogier does win the championship, so the organisers wake up and realise how disastrous this points system is. No part-timer should ever be able to do that.
Or at least change the rules so part-timers have to be nominated by teams before the year starts, then have them always sweep the roads on gravel rallies or run last on tarmac so the full-timers always get the better conditions.
@@BlueSkyCrystalsThat will just encourage teams to play even more games with part-time drivers. Teams with a driver leading the championship will hire part-time drivers just so they can sweep the road. The system of championship leader sweeping the road has been in place for quite a few years now. Ogier and Rovanpera both won while sweeping the road. I don’t see why more rules need to change because Neuville can’t handle it.
@@williamlasl It’s not about Neuville. It’s about giving drivers who commit to the full schedule and want to fight for the championship preference over those who want to cherry pick which rallies to compete in.
I must have said more than 100 times if Ogier fully participated he would have already won the championship by a huge margin, all those mediocre drivers cannot compete with him, not only because they are slower than him (sometimes they are not due to Ogier's age) but simply they can't stand the pressure and always crash their cars.
Poor luck for Kalle, but he will not only win the event one day, he will win it many times. Congrats to Ogier. I don’t know of any drivers from outside the Nordic region that have won both Rally Sweden and Rally Finland more than once. Maybe Tanak if Estonia is not considered Nordic.
Ogier outscored Neuville only by 1 point. I think it's totally wrong, especially the fact that you award points for Sunday and then for the final stage, which also counts for the Sunday points. So the same stage is counted twice for points. Power stage accounted for 21% of the Sunday mileage.
@@alvar891 I don't think so. Ogier is a menace. But Thierry is still 27 points ahead. And the point system favours Neuville, who crashes a lot but is often super fast on Sunday.
if Ogier manages to win this title despite opting out of couple of rallyes, that would be epic. It will be difficult for him due to that added handicap, but definitely an eye opener.
Kalle ha fatto lo stesso incidente delli scorso anno, evidentemente la gara di casa non gli porta bene. Ogier guida molto con l'esperienza di un pluricampione di 8 titoli, niente di che...ma cosa succede a Neuville? Un mistero...
Most uncompetitive year ever. The championship leader is only 1 DNF away from a retired part-time 40 yo. 5th place being 8 minutes out. I remember the 2015 days where mere seconds separates the 10 top drivers. I wonder what happened, it seems like Rovanpera is the only one that caught up to Ogier's speed while everyone else went backwards.
Well to be fair to Neuville and Evans, they have had to deal with terrible road positions in every gravel rally (due to their positions in the overall standings). That makes it incredibly hard to match the pace of the other drivers behind them (who have cleaner and more grippy roads). And it's especially hard when the people benefiting from that road position are part-timers with names like Rovanperä and Ogier. I mean catching drivers like Katsuta, Munster, Formeaux , etc. is usually something they are able to do. But catching WRC champions with a serious disadvantage like that, is asking a lot. In most rallies they would be up there in terms of pace, if conditions were very similar I think. As for the other drivers in the championship... I can't really come up with any reasons as to why their pace is not good enough.They usually have decent road positions and all 3 brands have a pretty competitive car, so they should be a lot closer. Basically we are in that strange situation where the 2 fastest full season drivers have to deal with a disadvantageous road position and the 2 other fastest drivers this season are part-timers with a better road position. Resulting in the 2 full season drivers taking points in every rally (or most of them), and 2 part-timers not taking points in every rally, but taking more points in the rally they do participate in, because they make good use of that road position advantage. And the others are just not bringing the pace (or at least not consistently enough).
Can anyone explain to me how it is fair or how it makes sense that you lose your Saturday points if you crash on Sunday?? I thought the splitting of the points across the days was to encourage more racing on the Sunday? If anything the drivers have more to lose now and are going to cruise on Sundays to protect their Saturday points.
@@MetalMJ well that is why they call them Sunday points. And that is OK. Only problem is that winner is not awarded more points. I think they should remove wolf power stage points and give the winner aside from Saturday and Sunday points additional 5 points. Power stage points are unnecessary now that we have super sunday.
@@markosajn5776 I understand what you're saying, the points system is just illogical to me. If you can crash on Saturday and still earn Sunday points why can't you crash on Sunday and still earn Saturday points? Ogier got full points for "leading" on Saturday, even though he wasn't leading Rovanpera was??? Yeah the Sunday points have rendered power stage a little irrelevant
It’s not a good system. Hopefully FIA will change it before 2025. Maybe they can just award bonus points for stage wins on Sunday. But right now WRC posts these complicated point charts that still don’t tell you who won or who was on the podium. Hard to draw in new fans when nothing makes sense…
Considering Thierry was caught on a rock in Kenya, Kalle is certainly unlucky. But what's clear here is that Kalle retired half in sixth rally. Even if he participated full-time, he would not be the champion.
What a joke this championship has become. Dumb points system, low entries and such weak competition Ogier probably going to win it easy as a part timer. Sad.
The commentary for the WRC is and has been so bad. If I'm listening on the radio, what do I get from a couple of people just saying "no" over and over again??
It would be totally crazy if Ogier manage to win the Championship as a partime driver!
Ya. That would become the stuff of a legend if he manages that. But I’d really really like Thierry to grab this one. He’s been at it for so long with no luck his way. At least he’s doing his part nowadays
@@icemax7 When we looking at Thierry last rally's, especially no one knows why he was so slow in Latvia, I don't think it's his year..
Does it count as part-time if he drives 11 of 13?
not so partime if driving every remaining rally.
@@Rezisorss He is showing great pace. Whoever leads the championship at the beggining of a rally starts first. Which is a disadvantage in gravel rallies because they have to "clean" the road. That's why he gets praysed at 2:58.
Kalle's crash was reminiscent of Petter's in Japan in 2005
tänak in kenya this year
Or Paddon’s m-sport test run for
Rally Finland in 2021.
That rock in the middle of the road... oh man
I think Sami Pajari did well to go into the grass, if he committed to the corner he might not have made it and could have gone off sideways where the drop to the grass looked higher which would probably have resulted in rolling the car
Yes. And there was really no reason to take risks for sami. Since he already proved his speed with th stage win.
Such unlucky situation for Kalle :/
I really hoped he would take the win as he definitely deserved it.
Ogier is very consistent, it's amazing that he is ahead of fourmaux, Evans and tanak driving half the rallies haha
He only skipped 3 events and always had the advantage of a better starting position. It's still impressive, though.
@@ondraspendlik9759 yes it is true about starting position, but if he fully participated then he would have practiced much more with his car and in some cases try harder to win than simply finishing third or second.

One of the craziest Finland rallies in recent times! DAMN! So many breakdowns. Poor Kalle.
Kalle curse is like the Leclerc curse at Monaco
No lo entiendo... tenía el rally ganado,mala suerte
Well done, Formaux!!!
Really performing well this season!
Amen brother!
he's a solid driver. not sure he can ever be a number 1 on a contending team but he is a stable and solid driver who can deliver team points.

And, lets not forget, Ogier is in a class of his own
🎉For Pajari🎉
"Voi vittu" classic last words
I want to cheer for the home heroes and Pajari did well but I have to hand it to Ogier, that guy is an absolute machine.
Poor luck for Kalle, but he will not only win the event one day, he will win it many times. Congrats to Ogier. I don’t know of any drivers from outside the Nordic region that have won both Rally Sweden and Rally Finland more than once. Maybe Tanak if Estonia is not considered Nordic.

Unlucky rock for Kalle
I really want to see Thierry crowned champion this year,
crossing fingers
same here
Well, it is now or never.
Ogier will take it away.
@@alvar891 I don't think so. Ogier is a menace. But Thierry is still 27 points ahead. And the point system favours Neuville, who crashes a lot but is often super fast on Sunday.
@@Franko384 Ogier has 6 high podiums out of 6 rallies he has done. He is dangerous.
Anything can happen in rallying and usually does.
Mad points system needs scrapping for next year.
no reaction on Neuville getting the most Super Sunday points??
It's normal at this point
With age comes big pressure!
That must have been sad for Kalle Rovanperä
if Ogier manages to win this title despite opting out of couple of rallyes, that would be epic. It will be difficult for him due to that added handicap, but definitely an eye opener.
Could you make the Highlights Videos longer? Just show the beautiful driving.
Rally Finland: You think it will be that easy Kalle... Think again try again next year
Gutted but happens in WRC
Neuville been second so many times, hoping he'll bring it home this year.
Kalle ha fatto lo stesso incidente delli scorso anno, evidentemente la gara di casa non gli porta bene. Ogier guida molto con l'esperienza di un pluricampione di 8 titoli, niente di che...ma cosa succede a Neuville? Un mistero...
kalle home curse?
Bitte als Video hochladen und nicht nur den Livestream, würde mir das gerne nach und nach anschauen !!!
Steady pace for Adrien Formaux/Alex Coria, especially taken to account that they had no test prior to the event..
Wanted Neuville to win the title but Ogier nicking it would be hilarious
I thought the same thing. It's about time Neville gets it but Ofier getting it would be impressive and funny
Is Kalle Rovanperä cursed when it comes to Finland?
No.
This year was bad luck. But it’s not a curse if somebody else like Tanak in 2022 was simply faster.
Damn Finland is dangerous 2 Toyotas, 2 Hyundai's and one Skòda totalated 😢
That’s rallying for you
At 1m a pop, no big deal!
😂😂😂 If Fords aren't for bad Latvia's roads, then Toyota Hyundai aren't for good Finnland roads.
Nothing ever happens when I watch live?
Perez Betty Smith Gary Martin Sandra
How it is possible that nobody saw that rock and cleaned it away? Lots of peoples there watching. 😵
@@JJ79_ Wasn’t Kalle last to run? I don’t think anyone else hit it before him.
@@BlueSkyCrystals I'm speaking about spectators etc. Sure nobody didn't hit it because it wasn't there before.
It's unfortunate that Ogier drive caused this stone to appear there and basically Kalle demise.
Adrien 4maux = one (p)3ore
Toyota for the win. ❤️🇯🇵
