Rally Wrc Monte Carlo 2017

I know his slow times were on studded tyres... but DMack studded tyres. Thats why he was so slow, not because he's a bad driver.

Once he was on their soft tyres on tarmac his times were good/ great.

If you're blaming the slow times on the tyres performing worse than the competition then to be consistent you should credit his fast times with the tyres performing better than the competition. Otherwise its like trying to pull a heads-I-win/tails-you-lose coin toss, doesn't convince many people over the age of 5.

The reality is probably a combination of both tyres and driving, he's often been inconsistent in his speed in the past (sometimes blindingly fast, sometimes head-scratchingly slow) without really seeming to know why.
