Well done Kris. Nice to see a man big enough to admit their mistake and apologise.

I already replied on twitter: they all will get zero results this year, it's inevitable. In 2017 Ogier's average point score after Mexico was 22! This year all three have been quite consistent, only Ogier failing in Sweden but winning the other two rallies with also power stage points

Also even if they don't retire "the other drivers" will manage to get in front on other rallies, especially on gravel.

Ex. in Sweden Neuville could get much less points if Latvala and Suninen stayed on the road. In Mexico, both Tänak and Neuville could easily have finished 2-3 places further down if it wasn't for some technical issues or punctures for multiple drivers.

Still, enduring the event in the long run to finish 7th was hardly an easy task.

Torrid start to his campaign either way. Monte was hopeless, Sweden could have been great, and Mexico, well, we saw.

Kudos to Elfyn, proving at the very least that Malcom wasn't completely insane to keep him on another year. And that fiesta is gorgeous, imagine if they pulled a throwback livery someday to the Focus colors!

Latvala was nowhere on Friday?
On the proper stages, not counting MM stage, where he actually suffered from technical, he was 17,5 seconds from 2nd placed Evans, being 4th. You call that off the pace or something?

Both his runs on El Chocolate were quite slow, the worst of the Toyotas. He found a little something on the other stages.

He said the spectators responsible for closing the gate across the stage had been quickly apprehended.

"We found the two people who did it," said Suberville. "As soon as we saw what had happened, we knew this was a very remote place that not many people went to, so we directed the helicopter to that place and we caught them.

"They were foreign spectators and you know what they said? They said: 'It was just a joke…'

"These are some of the idiots we have to deal with."
