And talking about Latvala again, “At the end of last year we focused on the development, just to make a really strong car and not optimising the performance,” he told WRC.com. “We decided we wanted to make a car which is just reliable and then when we have more time, we try to optimise the performance. “We could see that [the previous round in] Sardinia was an example where our performance was not the best but then here we see the reliability side, which was really important and needed. The engineers have done a really good work.”
I do not think that Toyota was lacking performance in Sardinia. If I remember correctly their main problem on the Italian rocky dustroads was mainly cooling related.

Thanks for your valuable feedback as a driver, me just a simple armchair onlooker. But I try to understand more about what you see and what is really going on. Probably the WRC drivers have some ability which makes them outstanding in some cases but are still prone to making errors

“Séb Ogier and all the other drivers were pulling all the air intake system off and going round various cooling systems on the car with a little homemade vacuum cleaner with a flexible hose on either end, vacuuming out all the dust – and it was significant quantities of dust coming out so they were doing a huge amount of work in between the stages,” he explained.
“I think that’s probably where Toyota got a bit of a bite at it, I think they were on the front-foot on all those kinds of things – led I have to say categorically by Séb Ogier. Brilliant, absolutely brilliant.”
