WRC Rally Mexico 2019

As for his pace, I'm speculating if the Toyota maybe is the hardest hit by the lack of oxygen in Mexico. It's clear the C3 is the strongest at this altitude, and the pace of all three Yarises leads me to think that. Add it to Latvala, who's always been critical of lower powered cars in which clean lines are essential, I'm guessing that's why he's been off the pace; he's likely used to having the extra power in the Toyota to power out of mistakes.

They have not sorted out the overheating issues, just have made some compromise with the performance.

Obviously; it still makes sense that Latvala's driving style struggles with the lack of power, I think.

and how much power will he need to not struggle? 500 bhp? 800 bph? 2000 bhp?

people driving r1 cars can legitimate claim they struggle with the lack of power, people driving the 2019 wrc cars can't.
