There was a lot of Fiesta WRC/S2000 fires few years back (I think from rear brakes that time) and nothing special happened about that.
The fires of Fabias are a big problem and I am quite sure that everyone involved is well aware about that. I am also quite sure that it would be solved already if it was only about changing the fuel tank but it seems that the fire is a result of a chained mechanism which isn't easy to fix. On the other hand it doesn't appear that often. There are dozens of Fabias here in CZ and through the years I know about one burnt completely and one where the fire was extinguished successfully.Stupid is as stupid does. Forrest Gump

Yes I also thought about this. Tanak has horrible Mexico record (including the lake swim).
Mikkelsen actually has quite bad stats in Mexico too.
So I'd rank favorites like this:
Group 1: Meeke (depends on confidence after Sweden), Latvala (provided car works)
Group 2: Mikkelsen, Ogier (road position)
Group 3: Tanak, Neuville (road position)
Loeb is impossible to predict.

Today without bigger drama for Rally1, so expecting tomorrow lot of retirements maybe, because there is NEVER rally without issues. Let's see guys, favorizing Ogier for the win probably, depends on...
