Being derogatory to a competitor is not the best attitude – in motorsport, people often copy ideas, the question is if they did so without much thinking or if they copied and developed them. Obviously the verdict on the Fiesta in that respect is still out there. Also, as the saying goes, imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.

The rear aero was developed by FP wind-tunnel, not copied.

The M-Sport design was pretty close already and done when they didnt have the fortunes spent by the facory teams.

Yesterday on tha last stage Elfyn slowed down on the last meters of the stage to favor Seb's running order for Saturday.Since the split times are not available to the crews how is possible to knew how much to slow down IF NEEDED?

I think Ogier finished the stage before Evans started it, so they knew exactly which time they needed to have.
