Rally Portugal is over, dramatic, tough, demanding, the usual stuff. Sebastien Ogier collected maximum points, breaking his promise, given just few stages before the ultimate powerstage. He said “he won’t do it”, but as smug and arrogant as he is, he broke that promise, storming to powerstage victory. That wasn’t nice of him, not nice...
There, now we know – Robert Kubica is, in fact, not having fun retiring on every event, and sometimes even several times in the same event. It also seems he is well aware of the fact that finishing rallies like this is not the way to go about one’s rally career. He won’t mention it,...
