Maybe Meeke just need a bit different approach from the team boss? Latvala has been quite similar to Meeke, either winning it, binning it or hopelessly somewhere in the mid-field. I still remember the comment Latvala gave after winning in Sweden, where he said that Mäkinen just told him to go and drive. And not to think about anything else.

Latvala has had a pretty consistent season this year. Okay, he is 40 points off Ogier. But he has had only one bad rally point-wise. Latvala is known for his fragility, so something big must have changed since leaving VW.

Over pushing comes from the head of the driver.
