Without meaning to sound like a social media conspiracy theorist, I did question some of the stewards decisions (or rather lack of decisions) in Sweden. Timmy Hansen clearly pushed to pass in the semi-final, but nothing was said. Yet far lighter contact has been punished elsewhere? I am not keen on the lack of consistency.

Coley mentioned that OMSE had gone back to rear rads as they’d had problems with cooling at the front. Although he also noted that they were overheating at Holjes so still something to work on. Not a bad advert for the new car, clearly had pace.

I heard that OMSE spent three days testing in Höljes, and they have apparently been hard at work on their Fiesta. I am not sure if these cars were new builds.
As for Hansen, I can't help but think that they are going easy on him as well. If you touched those sticks on the insides of some corners, you were automatically given a 5 second penalty this year. When Ekström won back in 2015, Hansen was first given 5 sec but protested and got 1 sec instead.
