WRC Rally Mexico 2019

Ogier doing really well, Neuville crying about Ott trowing stones for him - priceless :)
Hope Ott will have a better speed on a second loop to get a better starting position for tomorrow.

How about to start a new pickem on WRC+, guessing the stages it’ll crash?

It's a shame to see this fantastic service going down the drain...

The fact that they operate without redundant uplinks is telling the level of their professionalism.

⚠️ Unfortunately the damage to @TeemuSuninenRac’s Fiesta proved too much even for our technicians and he will not restart this weekend’s @RallyMexico #WRCLive

Real or cost-saving measure? Going first on the road for rest of the weekend would mean he could not score any good times, likely not on power stage either. And MSport is in reality not competing for manus.

Unlikely, Suninen needs experience and that means precious SS km`s. Wales dejavu imho, that looked innocent too, resulted in a bent rollcage (the important part, not like Sweden). TiTanak 2015 was also quite useless in terms of spent money vs result, but they still did it. Only other reason, apart from a big damage, to explain it, is that he will not represent M-Sport anymore.

Wilson shouldn't have entered WRC this season..

Teemu told that he would restart... But maybe damage from wrecked FR wheel really big, and they no need push to the limit and back him into a rally

Both is possible (real/not real).

They could ask him:
"Do you want to spend this ammount of money on ending last in every SS or do you want to use it for 2-3 extra test days?"

2-3 extra test days are not SS kms on a WRC rally...which he would probably get anyway. Since it is Rally Mexico, he could score nice points in manuf. championship. Do they need them, well, TiTanak example again.
