Did someone see this.
The ford is the only car which uses the hybrid power out of hairpins proper. When the car is straight and has no wheel slip it releases the hybrid boost. Other cars release extra boost immediately when applying power out of hairpins. So it all goes lost in wheelspin.
In stages with less hairpins and slippery hairpins ford has more difficulty to win.
The advantage in medium and long corners is not there because there is hardly wheel spin.
There must be some kind of system in the ford that checks wheelspin before it releases the hybrid boost.
Just watch wrc live and look at slippery hairpins and see when ford releases it hybrid boost and compare it to other cars.
Maybe i am wrong but i could see the difference.

Let's hope it's not deemed illegal, as it sounds suspiciously like a sneaky traction control in principle, which I believe is not allowed in Rally1 cars.
Or maybe the Puma drivers were just more cautious on the throttle, based on the reporting I believe the boost is tied to the throttle pedal position.

Was talking with some friends yesterday, that there would be one record Loeb wouldn't get, and that's the oldest podium finisher. Then again. I wouldn't be surprised to see Loeb on the entry list for Monte Carlo 2037. He'd only be three years older than Delecour and Burri this year.

What if it's not mapping and just the same principle as the "kick down" you have in cars with automatic gearbox? You can easily make some mechanical resistance you need to push through, so you don't activate the hybrid by error. Just my guess but it could be so simple...

It looks like Skoda are going with Stritesky who made some eye catching times in the Czech Championship early last year but at this stage Cais is definitely a more complete and impressive driver. I don't know if he wanted to not go the Skoda route or if Skoda wouldn't consider him because he drives with a Ford but it looks like a missed opportunity for them right now.. perhaps some Czech guys can fill us in?

It's not over until it's over. Other punctures or issues may come. Yesterday night it also looked very different than now just four stages later.
