Rally Italia Sardinia 2017

That's probably pointing to mapping of center differential.

they can change center diff mapping at service.

[Mirek]

Yes, but if Mikkelsen's driving style is a lot different then they might not be able to do that without testing.

I doubt it. There is no clear one sector difference.

Looking at the splits he was 0.3 behind Tanak and some 10s back in the end. So 10s might be the max. Problem is that Paddon at that point was 2.7 ahead of him and in the finish 3.8 ahead. So what are they supposed to do only use Tanak? Who guarantees that he would have kept same pace as Tanak and not same pace as Paddon f.e.?

I watched the replay. Yes he had to back off quite a few places, but the visibility for him was changing all the time, so how would they judge that. Count 0.3s here for lifting off, 0.2 there etc?

The end of the stage is funny. He is so angry he almost runs down the stop-post. Also I heard just about all the Finnish words I know there *Vittu etc :P

Did you see that on WRC+? I've never heard Latvala curse!

Probably, but Mikkel need more testing km, to test several centerdiff options.
This is more or less same scenario as Ogier coming to Ford, centerdiff did nor suite him at all, but now it is ok.

Paddon also lost time in Neuville's dust, I don't understand Your point. Latvalla progressively was losing time against Tanak.

Yes, dunno which of them says it though.

Ostberg clearly held him up. He went from being just two tenths behind to losing five seconds between splits.

Oh, that could be. All I've ever heard Latvala say in the face of adversity was "ei voi ella totta" (I think it's spelled that way)

cant wait for the power stage,short one 6,96km,and plenty of crews that they want extra points.

For me it is stupidity to give notional times for this issues. It is just part of rally...
