Would have been some 40s behind Latvala without Latvala's technical issues.

He did a bit better than expected, but good enough for what again exactly? Place in the factory team with probably highest or second-highest budget? Not for me.
I meant he is doing much better that the start of the season. Remember he had not done a WRC rally in years. Shows how important it is to compete regulary. Sure he has not done enough to get a seat for next year, but doing a good job for manufacturer points, just what he is supposed to do
