    Read again:
    The cause of his stoppage? A second consecutive engine problem. DirtFish understands that it was a repeat of the same failure that halted his progress in Portugal.

    But if it was something I am sure the techs had picked up on it.

    Very strange that he gets engine failiure in two rallies in a row on a Fabia!

    That's two retirements from big leads. At least the championship isn't a walkover.

    Bulacia also retired with an engine issue at least once this year.

    Heard some comments after Monte that it might be the new fuel.
    They should pause Mikkelsen's season until the new car is available (with totally different engine) Presumably that has been testing solely with the new fuel.

    Picked on it in the way he´d retired? Don´t think they´re able to change pistons - or not even allowed, I guess.
