Ogier and Latvala must get same time as Evans, according to SS1 OR nobody gets time
* confused newbie * So, um, how do "nominal times" work?
This is a joke, just as well cancel the rest of the season and give everybody nominal times...
Latvala was almost on Meeke's pace, Ogier with Evans plus some seconds for the puncture. Meeke has to be leading the rally now otherwise it's incredibly unfair.

(2/2) Red flag stopped the stage before @SebOgier & @JariMattiWRC could set a time. They'll both get notional times so the overall standings are provisional #WRC #Rallymexico
Was really nice that they confronted Budar with Latvala's starting position change and compared that with Ogier in Sweden.
As I said in Sweden when Ogier did it, I bet someone at FIA is already thinking about making a rule that forbids that. Could just change the rule they introduced for Sunday to be valid all weekend.
Phwoar, what a fucking mess of a rally.
i am very curious to see what times they will give.

is that really all it takes to red flag a stage now? a car off by the side of the road?
Is Charlie Whiting in charge?
Well, we should soon see decisions written down, arenīt we?
Why did they red flag the stage anyway?
Meeke and Evans had already gone through and it was only Ogier and Latvala left.
If you're gonna red flag it, do it after the WRC cars are through. 2nd gear corner and no real danger, worse cases of cars being stuck in Sweden ffs
We will, those will be posted on Notice Board.

This rally is becoming a joke.
Haha I went to sauna and what a drama now.
At the moment they’re showing Ogier in 4th overall
If they are being fair I don't think they can possibly give Ogier a time faster than someone like Tanak or Neuville.
Ogier +1:12
Latvala + 3:00 why that?
ok six nations time now... enough with the mexican trash.
never thought i would say that but
Go Wales.
What do you guys think would be the "fairest" time loss they'll give Ogier compared with Meeke's time?
If I will be giving notional times, I should give time of Meeke to Ogier. And for Latvala time of Sordo, same like for the rest of the field.

His last competitive split was 3rd, where his time was -8,5s vs Meeke's -17,9s. Multiply that by the factor of stage remaining and you get predicted loss at the end. That doesn't take into account possible tactics (Ogier often makes most at the end of the stage) or conditions (was his puncture getting better or worse) but it's based on facts.
I think there is two options:
1. Both Ogier and Latvala get Evans time (same as SS1), that helps Ogier.
2. The most "fair" they could do is to give Ogier time relative to Meeke based on split 4 (if he didn't get red flag just before) and Latvala after split 2.
That would mean Ogier looses 18s and is 3s ahead of Meeke
(Doesn't really matter how it benefits Latvala or not imo as he is in SR and a few tens of seconds don't matter)
It's either dangerous, or it isn't. They can't say they'll wait until after the WRC cars have passed just to keep the show on the road.
I think the most dangerous element was where the co-driver was stood... probably not an ideal spot and one a spectator wouldn't be allowed to stand in.
I'm pretty sure it was Meeke who flagged the official down after his brief interview with Colin Clarke after the end of the stage.
