You proved me wrong Jari, lovely drive, albeit benefiting from Thierrys mistake (but that's Rallying !) He has thrown it away twice now, I bet Hyundai top brass are really 'happy' !! Kris you need something big to happen, no excuses - you aint performing!! Upstaged by Craig again ! Great for Ott, cant be long now mate !!

I think he is right. The benchmarking starts at Mexico. The first 2 rallies of the year really do not match with the rest of the season; motor- and chassis wise they are not killing rallies. Although Toyota and Ford did some great great things, I'm very happy for them, but we have to wait.
F.i. I remember Hyundai last year Alain Penasse said after questioning the then new i20 "wait after Mexico..."

The season started in Monte (and Sweden)... the points were there to be won and the confidence gained.

Its a pity that people fail to see the big picture and act like plebs.
Tanak could very easily win here but the team are not stupid to let him throw everything away.
from these 2 useless events the only conclusion we can make is that Hyundai are top of the field so far, Neuville and Tanak seem to be the fastest with the current equipment and Toyota had 2 fluke results based on conditions and nothing more.
Of course you can overglorify everything but be prepared for a hard season ahead.
