Toyota, I thought the same thing about turning the power down a little in the name of cooling here in Mexico.
On Meeke, in my opinion it’s not can’t do the stage times, it’s more he is choosing purposely not to in the name of scoring points both for him and the team. When he has decided to, the speed has been there alright. PS on Monte and Mexico, first stage on Saturday when he took the lead here. If we think he and Latvala are in a straight fight to hold onto a seat at Toyota for next season, he’s doing the right job so far.
Suninen.
I agree, seems to be trying a little too hard to show he is fast. Hopefully it’s just a blip and he will turn it around and show he is.
Latvala.
Same as history, when he doesn’t lead the team he struggles, starts to question everything he does. You can almost see him trying to compose himself at stage end interviews to not sound desperate. Shame as I really want him to do well.
Lappi.
Yep agree.
Mikkelsen.
Bit unlucky, Monte crash was silly but others have got away with similar. Otherwise has done a good job this season I reckon. Decent speed in Sweden, fast in Mexico.
I’ll add Evans.
After bad crash in Monte (we haven’t talked about it much but that could have been a terrible accident) he has got to good solid results after and is back scoring good points.
Actually, that's true. I thought my Uncle Tommy was funded by MI, but when I looked closely it was just a very very very VERY very very very rich individual. I don't see the positivity either....
