2011 WRC Rally Mexico

Ogier missed regrouping

Hänninen commented to Finnish News Agency on his roll: "I tried to catch the drivers in front of me on the last three stages, but that didn't quite succeed. On penultimate stage we rolled. It happened on the road and we ended up on tyres. Once dust was settled we continued. It took only 14 seconds and car was perfectly ok. Afterwards, few kilometres before stage finish rear tyre punctured and we lost a lot of time there."

He is Czech and it seems that he doesn't like Škoda. :P

For me the only problem is that without Juhos problems he d need binoculars to see him.

I assume Ogier would have been to far behind Loeb to push for Victory????

i'm not so sure about that. Loeb got his 50 sec penelty on Saturday and was 10 seconds behind at the start of day 3.
At Ogiers last split Loeb was only 1.4 seconds faster (1,7 on the previous split) so i dont think Loeb would have taken allot of seconds on that stage.

Loeb would surely have won anyway but i dont think that Ogier would have been that far behind.

By the way, when I saw Hanninen´s time loss, then I was sure it was some kind of spin or smth and when I saw the final splits then I thought that probably puncture due to the spin or some kind of fuel problem like Kruuda had twice. But I could not imagine that he had a roll in 15 seconds:-)

Can you add manufacturers scratch times as well? Right now it is easy to calculate, but as the numbers are growing, it is getting harder and harder.

Ogier's off is on the citroen-wrc site (column last videos).
