Perfect beginning to 2023...

And Millener confirms he isn't worried about the disadvantage on the loose gravel in Mexico...

“I mean, people will already start talking about road position in Mexico but, for me, it’s irrelevant really,” he said. “You’ve got to take the points and the opportunities while you can, and our goals are to take it rally by rally.”

I feel M-Sport deserved a win now. To get the whole team to be upbeat for a few days is important!
This win could be a turnaround for them. Important to have 3 teams fighting for top step, through 2023!

Somebody somewhere talked about Portugal, but I can't find any links.

Yes, very important rally. I hope it will be a breakthrough for M-Sport.

It's also important from another point of view. The first 2 rallies clearly showed how slow drivers Loubet and Greensmith are. Tanak comes, jumps in the new car and fights for the win almost from the very beginning.

I think Loubet was quite decent in Monte when he didn't have any problems. Better than Taka, for example.

Also, as he showed in Greece last year he can be really quick on gravel too with a favourable starting position. Mexico might be a good indicator whether Greece was a one off or has he actually stepped up in terms of pace.
