...Question though: Latvala mentioned he hadn't driven El Condor and Mina Clavero properly since 2013. What happened? How come?
Yes you are too die-hard but Jari is Jari, I like him too.
Latvala won Argentina in 2014 but it was all mud. In 2015 his Polo had mechanical issues in the middle of first pas at El Condor. In 2016 he crashed badly the day before and the car was very weak and he couldn't push to the maximum.

I think not even him is thinking about the championship this year.

Latvala has been a disaster in Portugal when it was up to the south of the region. Now it's in the north and he also won it in 2015.
Anyway both before and now he has always be fast in Portugal but often crashed.
