Quote
DTM - Red Bull Ring: In the Audi camp, Jamie Green was the best of the bunch with sixth, on what was a disappointing day for the crew from Ingolstadt. Here's what the Brit had to say:
"I'm P6, so that's not too bad. From there, you can challenge for the race win. So from my point of view, it's a reasonable result.
"The other Audis, I must say it's a bit strange to see the order, it's not what I expected. But it is incredibly close on lap time, and I missed pole by less than a tenth, and I'm sixth. That's why the positions can look really bad, but when you look at the pace it's really close."

WRC - Finland: Some words from the winner, Jari-Matti Latvala:
"It was a really, really hard job to get this victory. I had a fantastic feeling with the driving from the beginning of the rally. Everything went really, really well until we had the problem, which put us in a really difficult position.
"We were so close to losing the whole rally. Today was quite a nervous feeling but we managed to hold it.
"Without being nervous I think I would've been able to drive a little bit better on this final Powerstage."

WRC - Finland: Latvala looks exhausted... He's finding the enormity of this one quite hard to take in. A big hug from his Dad now.

DTM - Red Bull Ring: After a short break to let the Powerstage in Finland play out, here's a little bit more DTM reaction.
For Timo Glock, it was a mixture of both happiness and disappointment after qualifying yesterday. He was on pole for so long he'd driven back to pit-lane before Wickens pipped him for P1.
"I was already back in pit-lane and I saw on a couple of TV screens that my name was still up there [in P1]. When the radio opened up, you could hear from the first word in the voice that it wasn't enough."
Glock also has an interesting theory on why his weekend is going so well...
"My girlfriend is here this weekend. Every time she is here, it's working out. She was at Hockenheim last year, she was at Hockenheim this year, and she flew in this morning and... first row. So I think I need to bring her to every race."

WRC - Finland: Latvala slews the VW sideways, jumps out of the car, jumps around a bit then leaps onto the roof of his Polo with co-driver Miikka Antilla.
BTCC - Snetterton: We're almost ready for race one here, with Jason Plato and Colin Turkington starting on the front row.
Reigning champion Andrew Jordan has a lot of work to do after being cleared to start from the back thanks to his crash yesterday.

WRC - Finland: Latvala is three tenths up on Ogier at the split. It's looking safe right now...
Stopwatch
WRC - Finland: Ogier is fastest so far, 3m16s is his time, but all we want to know is how Latvala compares.
"Jari is really flying..." Ogier admits.

WRC - Finland: Meeke is thrilled with that result, while adding that he doesn't want third to be his limit and is determined to win this event one day.
"A podium is pretty special here, it's one of the biggest of them all.
"We're still not perfect - Jari-Matti has been the epitome of perfection in driving a rally car this weekend."

WRC - Finland: Now for the battle - Ogier begins the stage.
Stopwatch
WRC - Finland: Meeke beats Mikkelsen by three tenths, so he'll get at least one Powerstage point.
Much more importantly, he's claimed a brilliant Rally Finland podium.

WRC - Finland: Meeke has started the final stage. Ogier and Latvala are poised at the startline.
Stopwatch
WRC - Finland: Mikkelsen fastest so far by 1.4s after a wild drive through the Powerstage. That gives him fourth overall.
WRC - Finland: Saving those tyres seems a good call by Mikkelsen, he's 1.3s up on Hirvonen at the split, despite being the most broadside through the stage so far.
Stopwatch
WRC - Finland: Hirvonen is nine tenths faster than Hanninen to take Powerstage top spot for now. He'll be fifth overall.
WRC - Finland: Great rally from Paddon, who got up to sixth and had the pace to keep Hanninen at bay yesterday until his power steering failure this morning dropped him to eighth. He's just come through the finish.
Hirvonen is now on the stage. Mikkelsen, Meeke, Ogier and Latvala will follow.

WRC - Finland: Remember Neuville has been Hyundai's only permanent driver this year, with Hanninen, Dani Sordo, Paddon, Bryan Bouffier and Chris Atkinson all making appearances alongside him. Don't expect them all to be kept for 2015...
Quote
WRC - Finland: Hanninen is fastest so far on the Powerstage. Here's his verdict on the weekend:
"I made a mistake and that was the cost. The starting position yesterday was then not that good, but I tried to go fast and do a good result.
"We have to learn from this rally and be more clever in the future."

What a huge missed opportunity for Hyundai this weekend. Its Finn was absolutely flying early on, challenging Meeke for podium honours.
Then he flew too literally and rolled the car.
Hanninen's recovery drive will take him from 12th to sixth, equalling his WRC career and season best, but still...
