Yeah it must have been early because he was 1m 51 down already at the first split and pretty consistent times after that. There must have been quite a few cars that passed Meeke in there. He was 6 m something down after all.

Katsuta again faster...these pirellis must be a lot faster from michelins.
SAT 14:56 - SS13: MEEKE UPDATE
Retired. He has stopped on the road section near to Hagfors town.
"Neuville and Mikkelsen can't performe under pressure" - Really?
"Mikkelsen has no pace over Neuville" - Well, he's seconds away from Neuville.
"Neuville said he would be champ last year" - well, at least he tried to do it in stile. Wining title without domination is just half of it.
And all of that negativism against Hyundai drivers completely unprovoked. Wow, well done forum stars.
Gotta applaud Breen, he tried a different tire strategy and pushed in first stage to put some pressure on. Doesn't look like it worked, but nice try anyway.

Retirement for @krismeeke here at @RallySweden
Engine issue following an off into a snow bank.
#WRC #C3WRC
Looks like temperatur is above 0 in the sun.
Eats away on the snow quickly.
could have stayed -5 for a few more days!! :talk:
We are missing something here, Meeke said he nosed into the bank, got out and cleared the snow and the engine had no power afterwards. At the stop control it didnt look smashed at the front? Then Tanak seems to have hit him going past and gone off, caught him again and passed him cleanly. What has caused the retirement?
man how hard it is them to show the onboard moment of Tänak Meeke?...pathetic
