[WRC] News & Rumours 2018

[mknight]

It's quite clear Lappi isn't at all happy with the Yaris lately, but Latvala has sure gotten the hang of it already.

Spain was the first rally where he had top 3 pace all the time. GB was spotwise after others hit trouble.Turkey was 2nd place while being 5th fastest car. The comments about the car moving from him were made in march-april.

Actually Paddon's 2017 is quite similar to Mikkelsen's 2018. No pace on tarmac and mechanical trouble on gravel events...except that Paddon also made some driving errors (Argentina, Sardegna).

In general it's similar but Paddon does not have a single tarmac podium in WRC, he dropped from 4.-6. on -tarmac in 2016 to 6.-8. in 2017. Mikkelsen has 8 podiums including 1 win and dropped from 2nd (2-4. in 2016) to 6.-10.
