Also, somehow remember that Ott said that if the profile of the stage is more towarda circuit racing style, he struggles more.

Of course, it can be that he got the call, but it just seems stupid...Thierry has a quite a big margin with the points and even if he drops a couple to Ott, I do not think he will be quite annoyed..but lets see on the third one.
I appreciate your polite argumentation skills (no sarcasm)

Your explanation does seem logical and realistic. Having seen quite a lot of Ott's stage end interview, then this situation makes me just a little bit suspicious. Usually when he is off the speed compared to the other, then he talks about the feeling in the car or setups etc. When he has a small grin and tells you everything is OK, then there is something behind it. Usually it seems to have been a technical error, which they don't want to expose to their competitors.
