Monte - Car setup to low
Sweden - Diff Issue

Corsica - Leading, engine
Argentina - 2nd till going off, suspected damper issue, own accident etc etc etc.

I'd rather have his record that some others.
Monte - crash in 3rd stage, nothing to do with setup, just driving too fast on ice, after that mediocre results with only single 3rd place
Sweden - diff issue when he was in 5th place
Mexico - only manufacturer without problems, road position advantage, still crashed in last corner with huge lead and only massive luck made him win
Corsica - leading half-way yes, +1
Argentina - crash from 2nd with road position advantage, then second crash next day

Clearly the worst record from all the n1 drivers in all 4 teams.


Look at Latvala (never thought I would write something like that), he used to be very much the same. Now going only as fast as is safe and still getting good results, pushing when he's in control (Sweden).

Similarly huge development from Neuville in last 2 rallies. Starting "ok" on Friday then stepping up the pace on saturday and sunday.
Why can't he learn from them? It's not like the rally gets won by not lifting in the first jump of the rally (Argentina SS2), it's only lost there.
