Mikkelsen finally happy with the car and looking to attack...
#RallyMexico 🇲🇽 #Shakedown ✅ 💬 "Very happy with shakedown, had a great feeling already from the start and that felt good! I felt I could drive the way I wanted and that is a real confidence boost. We will push from the start!" #WRC #HMSGOfficial https://t.co/VGwedw3Ys7

Mikkelsen increasingly seems like one of these drivers that can be right on the pace but only if he's totally happy with the car. Otherwise the times fall away badly.
So its good to hear he's really happy going into Mexico. That plus road position advantage could mean he's amongst the leaders.
Sordo, Evans, Suninen and Latvala have to try and take advantage of their road position too. Sordo normally goes well here so if he's not too rusty I think he'll be up there as well. Latvala is probably dependant on where his head is at....

In Estonian sources they say that Tänak passed SD once before time ran out. Earlier technical issue was due to some engine sensor which could have been overriden in competitive situation but in SD they chose not to risk and have car checked out by mechanics.

i've grown weary of what drivers say about testing and shakedown over the years, what they say and what happens on the stages can be quite different. the good thing is this is mexico and the shakedown seems representative of the stages.
i think Mikkelsen needs to prove a lot on this rally and score some decent points. He's in a decent road position like some of the others you mentioned above, most of whom also have points to prove, so the competition should be high. I await his results and stage end comments. Apart from the heat and altitude, i expect the pressure to perform will play a big part on the outcome of this particular group
