    I really like Latvala but he can be really naive at times. Ogier was slower than Tanak with the same car himself last year in Sweden but he just didn't cry about it and ended up winning the championship. Latvala is also ahead of his teammates in the general ranking. Everything is going fine, he is just finding problems that are not problems.
    He took 3rd in Monte, its second best result ever there. He took a bunch of points in Sweden after two days starting not in the best position to aim much more.
    He should just go to Mexico and take more points and if he is in his day, win the event. But if he goes with anxiety he will take rocks instead of points or will make slower times because of trying to change the setup and driving style continuously.

    Me too I expected Tanak to be slower at beginning but he found soon the feeling with Yaris, that's it. Congratulation to Tanak, now move on.

    P.S. I think what Latvala is suffering the most is not just Tanak being soon faster but the feeling to arrive at the end of the stage and not understand why he was slower than his teammate... Last year he could say himself that the car could have been the reason of others faster than him, now he can't say the same with Tanak.

    So why shouldn´t Tanak be faster than JML? That can´t be a surprise. So many variations is playing roles. And we´re talking about WD championship over a whole year.
