BREAKING NEWS: Neuville won Rally Sardinia by only 0.7s
Hi, Steemers!
What a great day for rallying it was today. Battle between the championship leader and the five times world champ was until the last meter.
Thierry Neuville won all four special stages for Hyundai and won the whole rally with the margin of only 0.7s.
That's what audience likes: battle until the last special stage and different winners.
Nobody want to see the same winner and champion rally after rally and season after season.
What we can see from this rally is that Neuville is gaining a confidence for the title fight and it will probably be until the final rally of the season.
Great rally for him and big luck for Ogier not to get penalty because his co-driver forgot time card at the time control and that is for penalty and sometimes exclusion from the rally.
Once I crossed into the time control maybe 1 or 2 meters and I got penalty of 1 minute.
But Ogier is five times World Rally Champ and has a big authority so he will pass with it if he doesn't make the same mistake until the end of this season. If not, his points will be taken away.
Results (top 5):
Neuville 3:29:18.7
Ogier +0.7
Lappi +1:56.3
Paddon +2:55.2
Ostberg +3:10.9

Neuville is really surprising me. He is determined. I'm sure Ogier will be more careful next time so that he can show Neuville that he's more ready for the title than him.
Ogier has 5 titles and Neuville none so he is more motivated. it's still 6 rallies to go and anything can happen but now Neuville is in really strong position.
