    Block did good in Mexico, wish he would commit to more WRC rounds, he has a knack for putting the fun back into the sport.

    I think most of the difference is about cars. If Mikko did a proper rally with no mistakes and Ogier still in front on gravel, it sure also as a part have to do with car.
    Setup? No, Citroen for sure has files with setups for all types of conditions after Loeb has gone.

    Cars vs Driving style perhaps? Mikko's approach to driving was very different than Loeb. I don't think Mikko has that precision that Loeb and Ogier seem to possess and, maybe, the Citroen needs a more clinical driving style to get quick times. Is Mikko a case of: can't teach an old dog new tricks?

    People said the same when Mikko was driving Ford however no change came when he switched to Citroën. Is JML faster now than with Ford? No, he isn't. How about the past? How come Tommi won four titles in a car which others struggled with? It's too simple to say that winners win because of the car. It's often opposite.

    I think also a combination of right car right driver at the right time. Now it is Ogier and the VW, for a long time it was Loeb in any Citroen! I think in the past Citroen had little to do to stay one step ahead of Ford, now there is a manufacturer who will leave nothing to chance and the right driver to get the wins. So to me Citroen need to raise their game, though I think they will instead now just fade out of the WRC.
