Note that this will be his 4th tarmac rally in the car this year, excluding Monte.

Not sure how much it helps though, cause again in Spain he would come to the stage end thinking it would be a good time only to see he is the last WRC. Same thing happened as early as in Monte on Sunday.

How do you then judge improvements if there is no other WRC to compare with?
He did 3 scratches in spain, as much as sordo and more than ogier. Only neuville and tanak did better.

So the speed still is in there somewhere, but he just can't seem to get it out on a reliable continuous base.
They have the telemetry data, so they should be able to know perfectly where and why he loses time.
