Christ Molly doesn't half ask some stupid questions.
She's just told Lappi it's only his second rally in a WRC car!Quote:

dimviii, any live link? :)
She was actually OK for her first'er few'er events, but she's got worse. Its like she doesn't know where it's going to go next and each word comes to mind after she's just said the last one. It's becoming painful.Quote:

It's going to be cleaner, but the lines will be "wrong" from the smaller class cars. However, there's not many of them. I would expect the gaps to be smaller in the afternoon. Also the increasing heat makes the tires work differently.Quote:

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?Quote:

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

⚠️ 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).Quote:

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.
@OttTanak: 3 MICHELIN LTX Force M6 + 2 H4 @thierryneuville, @AMikkelsenRally, @DaniSordo, @krismeeke, @ElfynEvans & @EsapekkaLappi: 5 H4 @SebOgier & @JariMattiWRC: 4 H4 + 1 M6
TiTanak was different story, they got so much attention and M-Sport wanted to show, that they can make it happen. all over the news.. repairing boring crash at SS2.. not so interesting
Shame for Suninen. It's a cruel sport and small mistake can have a big cost.
If the driveshaft is mounted like on a road car they might have done some damage to the engine block since the driveshaft bearing is mounted on it.
So lets take that off the list ( that is a real possibility, i agree). What about valuable experience from a WRC event, where one isn`t so well experienced yet (+ some manuf. points, which maybe "worthless" for them also).
wrc splits retire too?
M-Sport would've repaired the car if possible.
good to have michelin siteQuote:

No footage of Suninen off anywhere? All other incars on Finnish tv, but not that. Jouhki paying not to show his mistakes?
They said on alllive that they will show the onboard soon. (prbly between the stages)Quote:
