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.

He gave his hat away yesterday
Makes sense he'd win Argentina in the mud, considering his performance at GB. Also, I'll never forget the dread I felt when I heard his damper had popped out last year. That was, in my opinion, what started his career's downward spiral last year. He's back this year though.
After Sweden, he said he'd start thinking of the WDC, so there's that!

Citroen retired Breen during last service, so they 'can get a full quota of sealed spare parts for the next rallies.'

So they prefer this over 8 manufacturer points. Why? Are they afraid Meeke is going to roll 3 times in Portugal? Or does the sheik need his parts there?SimRace Vereniging Nederland

Argentina 2014 was in my opinion the best rally ever for Jari-Matti. Even better than Finland wins. He outpaced Seb the whole weekend with same car and same conditions.
I think Sweden crash in 2015 has been the start of his downward spiral. Not that he has been near the top before with all those Sebs driving around... but in 2014 he made undoubtful improvements before getting lost again the next year.

You're right. Up until Sweden this year, he hadn't been himself since Corsica 2015. The switch to Toyota and having Makinen as team principal/mentor will surely help a lot. Who knows where he'd be if the Yaris was at Hyundai level?
I am near certain that I will live to see the day when Jari-Matti wins a world championship. He's been too close too many times not to win.

Great speeds. Did you miss WRC machinery on these roads?
