I don't know about arrogance. It was probably just nice for him to get through a rally without making any mistakes, or having the car fall apart on him, or to be way off the pace.
In fact, more than nice, it was probably a bit of a strange situation for him to find himself in, and if he (with everything still to prove) didn't handle it as well as an eight-time world champion who's basically driving for fun... well, can you blame him?
He got lucky with the stage cancellations, sure. But while it COULD have been a humbling event for him - it was not. Quite the opposite.

Fair points.
Still think if I was Gus I would feel a bit humbled seeing as he is an experienced driver with many years of top level WRC experience and WRC2 events, yet was comprehensively beaten on pace by a kid that most people think isn't good enough for the WRC. Fair enough Gus had nothing to push for, but still think it would make me tone down the celebrations a bit.

I do see what you mean. He didn't dominate as he might have wanted or been expected to, considering his experience. But at the same time, he drove a great rally, stayed out of trouble, and I think proved he's no mere pay driver without any discernible talent. What he did isn't an easy thing to do, and ultimately he didn't need to be faster than Solberg, once Solberg had lost the best part of two minutes.

With RB including Max struggling at Monza, it's exactly what Lando needs to have any real chance of bagging a WDC this year. But it will take solid and consistent driving to give him these...
