WRC - Poland: It is with great displeasure we have to bring to RCL's attention the continued attrition of a British driver.
Osian Pryce - 2014 British Rally Championship runner-up - retired from the preceding Portugal round of the Junior World Rally Championship from the lead. A faulty alternator was to blame.
Here in Poland, the 22-year-old once again led the way for the majority, but a misfire on Saturday dropped him into second behind Simone Tempestini.
Pryce is struggling to fund the next round, Finland, and a win would have likely given the Welshman some much needed exposure. Rallying can be a cruel mistress at times.
He trails Tempestini by 53.5s heading into the final test.

GP2 - Silverstone: The other Racing Engineering driver, King, has just taken 11th from Cecotto after starting near the back. Good drive.
GP2 - Silverstone: Baffling that Racing Engineering didn't tell Rossi to let Lynn back past. This weekend, a massive number of drivers have been penalised for putting all four wheels off there. What did they expect to happen?
GP2 - Silverstone: Five-second penalty for Rossi for exceeding track limits and gaining an advantage. He's fourth on the road, but that means he's now actually in seventh place.
GP2 - Silverstone: Vandoorne just moved up into eighth place by passing De Jong. He's now chasing down Sirotkin.

With so much news coming out of Silverstone this weekend - you know for the small event that is going on there - it's difficult to pick out a 'biggest' story.
However, it doesn't get much bigger than Aston Martin in talks with Red Bull over an F1 return...

* Ogier extends his lead to 8.1s over Mikkelsen, who has been comfortably second best in the Volkswagen camp with Latvala fourth.
* Latvala takes 0.4s out of Tanak, but the Estonian still holds third overall by 1.1s.
* Neuville rolled but incredibly came home 22.1s off Ogier's time. The Belgian also tried to play some mind games at the stage finish with team-mate Paddon.

Quote
WRC - Poland: "I was clear yesterday, I knew I just need to do my job," and that's exactly what Ogier has done. "We pushed no more than any other time through the weekend."
When asked about whether he was going for a power stage win, the Frenchman responded nonchalantly: "I don't really need the points but it's a nice stage so we will see."
Typical Ogier, cool as a cucumber.

GP3 - Silverstone: Ceccon crosses the line to take his maiden GP3 Series victory.
Stopwatch
WRC - Poland: Ogier is in and that's how you win a rally, by going quicker than everybody else! He's fastest by 2.5s and takes an 8.1s lead into the final stage over Mikkelsen.
GP3 - Silverstone: The closest battle on track is between Eriksson and Parry for fourth. The Brit however almost loses control coming out of Becketts.
Stopwatch
WRC - Poland: Mikkelsen goes quickest! He's 2.4s up on Latvala with only Ogier to come through now...
...Ogier was fastest through the split though, 0.3s better than Mikkelsen.
"That was a clean stage," says Mikkelsen. "Pretty much perfect driving with only a few places we could go faster."

WRC - Poland: Tanak's season has gone almost perfectly to plan this year as the Fiesta gets quicker and Tanak gets more consistent. The main blip being his Mexico reservoir excursion...
WRC - Poland: Great second half of the stage from Tanak, he only lost 0.4s in the end to Latvala and goes second on the stage.
Nail biting time as Tanak's lead in third over Latvala is down to just 1.1s with one stage remaining. What a battle.
"It's an all out push now. I think whatever happens we've had a very good rally and improving all the time like we promised before the season."
