Great job from Mikkelsen today as well!
yeah, he later admitted in an interview that he had to drive that sideways to keep the heat in the tyres or something like that.Quote:

Perhaps but for the past 2 seasons (2015-2016) he hasn't shown great pace on Tarmac but this year, I'm glad it's working out for him. Well done to Malcolm Wilson for sticking his neck out for his drivers.Quote:

It's a combination of new codriver, experience, car developed for him, which gives him huge confidence boost. Tänak had been ok on tarmac, but never that good. Enough praise, still two days to go.

Looks like Meeke just give up.
in 2015 he was just rusty because he hadnt been competing on tarmac for 2 years with a WRC machine (remember he was dropped for 2013 and in 2014 competed in WRC2). and last year he was with Dmacks and i think that says it all.Quote:

Well done by Tanak, but my surprise for today is Mikkelsen. Didnt expect that pace, he seems on the mission or something.
Nothing wrong with the road, it's the drivers that don't judge the conditions properly (little polish de javu).Quote:
