This is one of the problems for Msport/ Suninen and Lappi, with Msport not having an experienced man like Mikkelsen/Meeke/ Latvala in the 3rd car.

Nobody knows whether the two Finns just aren't doing a good enough job, or if it's the car that is also lacking and falling behind vs the Toyota and Hyundai. They both could've done with more of a reference in the team.

Oliver faster than Camilli and Gryazin on SS6. Quick learning.

Ogier won a title in 2018 in same Fiesta... so not so sure it was always the Fiesta being slow. It probably is as much that the Yaris is really fast and easy to adjust to.

Update from Rallye Monte-Carlo organisers following Tänak's crash in SS4

The car left the road at high speed and after several rolls ended on a road below the rally road. Both occupants exited the vehicle on their own and were reportedly free of serious injuries. They were examined by the Doctor of Automobile Club of Monaco, who arrived at the scene at 10:09. Then the Dragon helicopter, which arrived on site at 10:34 and departed at 10:36 for Gap Hospital, evacuated them. On their arrival at 11:04, the crew TANAK Ott (driver) and JARVEOJA Martin (co-driver) was taken over by the medical team of the Emergency Department where further examinations were done. The medical status is comforting but as a matter of precaution and because of the strength of the impact, the doctors have decided to keep the crew under observation until Saturday morning.

I think it's more down to development. The Fiesta was a good car out of the box but the others have simply improved a lot more over the years in comparison.

That is true but in the case of Evans he was faster and got better results in 2019 than in 2018.

Q. Any changes ?

(4 - Lappi Esapekka / Ferm Janne): Maybe we should change the driver?

He shouldn't talk himself down so much. There are some promising splits here and there, he just has to string them together which I believe will come when he becomes accustomed to the Fiesta.

Malcom picked him over a range of other drivers. He must have believed he had something.

Guys check Lappi's onboard on SS4 at Ott's place.

165km/h cornering speed, was same as Ott I think. Very nasty bumps and gave Lappi a scare.

(Potential) money return to Msport was likely a big factor. On basis of that it is clearly Lappi>Mikkelsen>Latvala>Meeke.

They fixed a small mesh over the lower grille to leave space for air to enter either side.

So that leaves not much space for good drivers.

Someone should probably explain to Toyoda that good drivers are born, not made. Nothing good will come from Katsuta, they are just embarrassing themselves.

If having him driving is what keeps Toyota in WRC, it's fine with me. Just like Al-Qassimi's drives were the price of Abu Dhabi sponsorship.

He's a bit like Breen - things are either really fantastic or the worst ever.

He needs to be a bit more level in his emotions like Mon Loeb.
