Anyway, Mexicans will just build a silly jump to get over the wall

He is not running in the right starting order cause he decided to take (unimportant) time penalty to get better road position. That means he destroys their schedule relative to the next stage which is a direct-TV stage.

In any case he is in superrally.

That's a punishment for him playing with the starting order :D

EDIT: I'm slow, grrr

Just four cars haven't had any major problems. Which one of them is next?

What a rubbish talk. Flexibility is what´s needed here. It´s live coverage!

I'm beginning to wonder if we'll see a driver that restarted on the podium.

But seriously Mirek, is this the coverage we want to see. The guys playing fo best outcome, we punish them by not showing them in All Live?

Is that what we want? At least they should be so clever they could differ out what is WRC cars and not...

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.
