    About Meeke. I saw today several onboards. I watched Ogier, Latvala, Tanak, and Meeke. Plus just one of Ostberg. Just to compare another driver with the same car.

    I'm not the best driving analyzer but it is clear this guy has a too much risky driving style. It is not the same as Tanak. Tanak looks aggressive but not that crazy. Meeke is really crazy sometimes. Ogier and Latvala took perfect lines, they were very clean and fast. Meeke was fast but the cleaness is nowhere.
    Tanak, was trying to break as late as he could and sometimes he went very much sideways but you could see he was in perfect control of the car. Meeke not, it seemed, on a lot of corners, he just went for it. I've counted at least 5 or 6 moments per stage. Ok, not big ones but still, they are too much.

    Also, you can hear clearly Paul Nagle adding his own comment to their normal notes. For example he said "3 right over crest", and then "whatch this" or "be careful here", and it's clear that they are not pace notes but just his own advices. I don't think it is too much common on WRC level, but this one is just my supposition.

    I dont think that a driver( except for latvala) took so many chances as kris.he was doing consecutive mistakes without any consequences to his career.it is very logical that this situation cannot continue forever.nice guy but he drives over his limits so he has a lot of exits,the speed he shows its not his real speed since he cant stay on the road,so for me he is not that fast.IMHO the real speed is the speed that allow you to finish lets say 80%(i dont count superally) of the rallies you participate.

    C I was just saying maybe Paul shouldn't co-drive for a driver who can't keep it on the road.
