Agree with all.

This is first time we can genuinely say that there is proof new Fabia is faster. But for sure this is on basically smooth and clean tarmac in stable conditions, does not mean it is faster also in different conditions. It is also on this kind of surface that the previous one was weakest (as well as on very fast gravel).

For me Lopez is also biggest surprise of the weekend. Though the stable conditions likely help.
