Huge risk of cancellation of stage 13 because of the spectators; Mouton has stopped a few times, and so has the police and the 000.

Hi everyone,
This Rally Argentina continues to be one full of twists and turns. We've got to lunchtime service on the second day in fourth position overall, having enjoyed highs and lows this morning.
In general I've been enjoying the driving so far today. The rhythm has been good and the speed quite okay; Seb Marshall and I have been targeting a podium place, of course, and we've been taking some seconds out of Seb Ogier.
Then on the long stage, unfortunately about 20km into the test I went though a small watersplash and lost the brakes completely. Literally on the next corner, when I braked for it, the pedal went straight to the floor.
That was bad enough, but it meant I ran a little bit wide later on in the stage, just at the entry to another watersplash, and touched a rock. That broke the rim and gave us a puncture, and it also pushed the front into the water - where there was yet another rock, which punctured that wheel as well! We did a bit of swapping around before the superspecial but even so, we had to do that stage - which is a longer superspecial than most - with one flat tyre, so we lost a bit more time.
So the end result of it all is that we're still fourth - ahead of Ogier now but behind Andreas Mikkelsen, who had a bit of a cleaner run this morning. The gap isn't so big and we were quicker than Andreas before, so I think a podium is still possible; I'm going to try my best to secure that, while keeping in mind that we need to bring points home for TOYOTA GAZOO Racing WRC.
Thanks, as always, for your support,
Kris
