Seems that Meeke was maybe paid by Corona, and Coca Cola.. one way to explain his detour to their tents :P
I remember from the past that Citroen has been almost always one step forward in high altitude Mexico, this time as well. So, we see in next rounds how the difference is, however, with each rally, MSport and Hyundai should run faster and more safer as they have one more or at least two more cars covering the stages and getting milage.. well, Citoren basically had only one car for half of the event here. Well, I still do not understand, Why it is so hard to call Qassimi, ask a few more millions, then call to Mikkelsen and make sure that they are able to contend for Manufacturer championship as well? Currently they have one first driver, very risky driver and two third drivers, for some reasons, they have forgotten that number 2 excists as well..
Someone was saying that Sordo was setting his times with clear overdriving, I watched Estonian footages of three days and he had his share of luck and also on the powerstage, he was all over the place, but it was still good to see him driving fast and enjoying. Seems that after 10 minutes penalty, he was advised to show how fast Hyundai is.. So, he drove 110 % all the time. Really looking forward to Corsica!
Seems that MSport had rather clear strategy for this event.. after overheating problems, they found that Ogier is in a position to catch the win and Ott drove in safe pace to collect points and make sure at least one MSport car is on the podium. Startegy worked really well! Win was just a spin away :P By the way, Ogierīs spin was also rahter lucky one, ina very narrow place, could have ended like Lefebre.
Helicopter footage, looks like there was a huge amount of spectators on powerstage, cars parked everywhere!
