What a disaster. How lucky can Ogier get
It's on for Tanak, win is possible.
Tanak maybe leader after the stage,and corrections of times from the red flaged stage
If camera crew are experienced they could judge by the smell what oil is leaking... :)
I'm wondering if Meeke is running in two-wheel-drive?
Looks more like a rear puncture
RR puncture for Meeke based on what is visible on the screen.
This is really super bitter for Meeke.
rear right
puncture for meeke
this rally makes me sad. Real car breaker
Take it back. Not the car just a puncture.
The rally that keeps on giving
Thought it was a puncture. That'll play into Ogier hands, sure Evans will now lose time due to hanging dust.
Amazing they made it through there really.
Ogier hasn't been given Meeke's time from the previous stage.
Ogiers time for previous stage +22 secs from meeke... i think its fair.
Oh, Ogier got his time from the previous one....interesting.
Ogier has been given the notional time of 18m 07.3sec. That put him 22.4sec down on Meeke on the stage and second overall.
Latvala got better notional time, interestingly.
Real bitter blow for Meeke that.
Now he's 20s behind Neuville!
Good run by Ogier.
What??!! Latvala is still on the stage!
WRC+ what are you doing!
fair times given by the mexicans... so maybe we build the wall a bit shorter.
Meeke must have used up all his luck in Mexico 2 years ago because he certainly has none today, gutted for him
Latvala should destroy that time!
Just four cars haven't had any major problems. Which one of them is next?
He is breaking the rules on purpose, just like Ogier was in Sweden this year. And just like Tanak and Neuville were here in Mexico last year and Ogier in Sweden.
He is getting penalized for it (just like all the others were), by getting timepenalties. The problem obviously is that the timepenalties at this point mean nothing to him (as long as he stays ahead of next manu car (Sordo), none of the other 2 Toyotas retire and he has a change for PS points).
This is not meant to point fingers at Latvala. I am very sure Hyundai would have done the same with both their drivers if they were not cleaning for Neuville...and Citroen has already done the same in Sweden.
I think FIA will soon introduce a rule that would say that any car in superrally that takes timepenalties (no matter the cause) will loose any powerstage and manu points. That might have some effect. Else this thing will be with us the whole season.
