Breaking down his season so far (for the record)...
Monte - Crash. Would have continued if not for spectator fatality.
Sweden - 7th, power steering failure. Best stage placings 2nd & 3rd but did take a while to get his head back into it after Monte.
Mexico - 5th, engine (and other) problems. Was 3rd before engine problems.
Corsica - 6th (still not top pace on tarmac, but probably closer than last year).
Argentina - 6th. Weird slow-motion roll in the middle of the road lost 2.5 minutes on friday, broken ARB saturday, power steering failure sunday. Won a couple of stages.
Guess you can blame the car for a fair bit of it then if you want to ;) and its not as bad as some suggest, hopefully his luck improves for the rest of the season though. I think we'll see more of the expected speed and results again before too long.
