I'm not sure Meeke is overdriving. It looks to me like he's made a concerted effort to reign it in a bit. Just a little unlucky I thought. Still the speed is there so it will come, he's been blisteringly fast on at least two power stages this year. Yes, I know, that alone won't win a rally let alone a championship but better being fast and turning it down a notch than being slow no matter what you try.

Latvala was nowhere, I know he wears his heart on his sleeve but I'm always surprised when he admits his head is gone. Ok, he doesn't use those exact words but he practically infers it by talking about the feeling not being there etc. He's honest, there's no BS with him but I can't help feeling he'll be forced into retirement next season. If Toyota were to go down to two cars, I suspect he might be one shown the door.

Perhaps Lappi might come back because he looks so so unhappy in that Citroen. Jeez! He's miserable at stage end. Looks completely at sea and he doesn't know why. Contrast with Breen's emotions when he was in the hot seat.

Evans and the Fiesta were a real surprise as you say. Teemu backed it up too and was probably being cautious to finish after the start to the season he has had.
