    As a co-driver I completely thought it was because of the pacenotes.. Nagles call was way too late. I assumed it was completely Nagles fault as I did not realize Meeke likes descriptive pace notes.

    That being said, you can only say so much when you have multiple calls in a short run. I think it would make sense to dumb things down or speak in codes to prevent from info overload. Similar to when Nagle just called Latvala on "Latvalas Corner" in Sweden. No need to say Latvalas corner. Even better just say JML. That's what I did when co-driving for a quick French driver in the states. He wanted descriptive notes and I got sick and tired of saying things in longform so we decided to shorten things or use acronyms when it made sense.
