    My bad:

    “- If a driver appears in the Power Stage classification but is not classified in the Final Classification of the rally, the Stewards shall decide whether the next Competitor should be moved up in the Power Stage classification for the attribution of Power Stage points.”

    Toyota, I thought the same thing about turning the power down a little in the name of cooling here in Mexico.
    On Meeke, in my opinion it’s not can’t do the stage times, it’s more he is choosing purposely not to in the name of scoring points both for him and the team. When he has decided to, the speed has been there alright. PS on Monte and Mexico, first stage on Saturday when he took the lead here. If we think he and Latvala are in a straight fight to hold onto a seat at Toyota for next season, he’s doing the right job so far.

    Suninen.
    I agree, seems to be trying a little too hard to show he is fast. Hopefully it’s just a blip and he will turn it around and show he is.

    Latvala.
    Same as history, when he doesn’t lead the team he struggles, starts to question everything he does. You can almost see him trying to compose himself at stage end interviews to not sound desperate. Shame as I really want him to do well.

    Lappi.
    Yep agree.

    Mikkelsen.
    Bit unlucky, Monte crash was silly but others have got away with similar. Otherwise has done a good job this season I reckon. Decent speed in Sweden, fast in Mexico.

    I’ll add Evans.
    After bad crash in Monte (we haven’t talked about it much but that could have been a terrible accident) he has got to good solid results after and is back scoring good points.
    Latvala didn't seem as emotionally wrecked as he usually is IMO. While he was nowhere on Friday, he had the speed for sure Saturday and (some of) Sunday, matching Ogier's times from the same road position. As per usual, his bad luck struck again, and the alternator failure put a stick in his spokes for the rest of the weekend. 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!

    Not saving parts. Cars that retire before final time control can change linked components before next event. For example the engine!

    No manu points anyway, so new parts for Loeb?

    I don't think Corsica is paired with Mexico, rather with one of the south america rallies.

    Anyway this is something that just about all teams have done at some point in last 2 years.

    now lets move to the proper calendar after 2 very special events and a farce.
    Is there anything in the world that you do not see a conspiracy in it?
