Such a shame he had that gearbox issue this morning...

Mikelsen is not slow, he is performing decent enough for a debut. Difficult car, difficult event, it's good that he keeps it on the road without troubles. I hope people who were promoting him so much here on the forum now realise how foolish they were.

Promoting him wasn´t foolish at all. He´s just smart enough to take time to adapt. Top drivers with brain usualy do that, I´d suppose.

Watching Meeke's onboards I find it really hard to understand what Paul is saying. He speaks too fast and tries to pack too much information into each corner. Prime example: his Mexico crash.

Sorry but it's driver himself who dictates during the recce what he wants to hear during the race.

I'm not pointing fingers, just stating facts. Whoever is at fault needs to change, or at least that's what I'd do.

Just watch a Breen onboard from SS4. And at 12:00:00 after jump he lands and there was a huge bedrock at the middle of road. Car was in compression and rock was 5-6cm over the road. :( Bad luck.

For some it works, for others it doesn't. Perhaps Meeke kept his detailed pacenotes he's always used in slower cars than they are now, and the increased speed might be causing him issues.

Edit: however his crashes aren't exclusively due to pacenotes. He's made much more mistakes himself.

Not.. 3 Toyotas in top 4. Can you explain again how idiot the team is and will flop 100% OR for once be a a man and admit that you where just wrong/idiot? :)

And Meeke onboard aswell on wrc+.
What can I say? - It's not a Meeke fault. In that corner some big lose gravel and back of C3 will drift away to outside, and there was a hill which flip a car.

I don't think it is pacenote dictation problem, he already knew what corner is next.

Not very big mistake, often this kind of touch would do nothing at all, but sometimes it brakes the suspension completely, here it seems it made the rear climb up on the hill. Then again it's the 7th? this season.

How can you say it's not his fault?!?!? That was driver error... Reading the road is part of rally driving...

imho it is clear driver error.Note has been read early,and the loose gravel is visible as half the corner.

We all know that rear of C3 lives own life, in notes no "slippery" or so. So they didn't know about that.
In Sweden C3 rear decide go to walk, and same here...
