    I'd like Lappi for a change to finish Mexico without setting the car on fire.

    Sent from my Takapalk.

    Ogier and Lappi had same road position yesterday and the speed was there, it's when he starts the day at the top that it immediately goes wrong with mistakes.

    If he was overdriving then it's just stupid and it speaks of his inexperience with managing a lead, yesterday he said all day he was comfortable and driving clean and even so he was ahead of Ogier on equal road order. No need to push today.

    If they pass a win they´d be more consistent...

    There is a reason I removed Lappi completely from my pickems for Mexico. (I think this is the first time I even did something like that.)

    Lappi seems to do the same thing as when he came to Citroen in 2019 and when he returned to Toyota last year.
    Goes way above his safe speed to try to take it all immediately.

    Both at Citroen and Toyota he turned it down after a series of fails and "settled" for a level he could hold. To be seen what happens this year.

    Fourmaux and Greensmith drive back to start of SS11... and from there to SS12? They for sure can not reach there for their start time.

    He spoke about clean driving yet he was throwing the car all over the road all the time.
    The writing was on the wall.

    I’m amazed by the amount of Estonian flags on every stage.

    Great job fans

    Why aren’t we seeing Ogier & Evans right now & seeing a rotating map instead?
    Only you know your true potential.

    Looking at these last 2 events, it seems that Yaris isn't really so much better than other cars. Too bad Msport breaks all the time
