Former Team-mates Trade Blows in Rally Mexico Friday Thriller 🥊

📺 Watch extended highlights on Red Bull TV: win.gs/wrcmexico
Esapekka Lappi kept a cool head in the scorching heat of Guanajuato Rally México to fend off six-time winner Sébastien Ogier during Friday’s dramatic opening leg.
Despite several of the FIA World Rally Championship's leading crews running into trouble on the gruelling gravel stages in the mountains around León, Lappi steered clear of drama to head Ogier at the first gravel round of the season.
Leading positions after Friday:
1. E Lappi / J Ferm FIN Hyundai i20 N 1hr 25min 12.0sec
2. S Ogier / V Landais FRA Toyota GR Yaris +5.3sec
3. E Evans / S Martin GBR Toyota GR Yaris +30.1sec
4. T Neuville / M Wydaeghe BEL Hyundai i20 N +39.8sec
5. K Rovanperä / J Halttunen FIN Toyota GR Yaris +59.7sec
6. D Sordo / C Carrera ESP Hyundai i20 N +1min 27.2sec

Can Lappi hold off Ogier for the whole rally?

[@galahad-history]

[@bogged2theeyeballs695]

So glad to be back on gravel.
Thanks again Red Bull Rally. Killing it with the coverage. 💪🔥🔥🤛

[@captainblacktooth371]

Esapekka Lappi has really matured, the excited boy is out of him, the serious man is driving fantastically. Whether he wins or not, he has come a long, long way since his days at Citroën

[@piuthemagicman]

he's not too serious, Lappi has had this great dry humour for the whole rally! still you're correct his attitude has matured 👌

[@matthewmyatt2625]

Didn’t age well

[@RedBullRally]

WRC has had its day. Planet is knackered , flying cars and teams around the world to fang about is a waste of time and money.

[@rachmatdwiputramat2683]

👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@ShasankShekhar]

I don't understand.... Didn't ogier drive for a different team in sweden?
Also where's craig breen?

[@DropkickNation]

Ogier didn't drive at all in Sweden. He is only driving part time this season. Same for Craig Breen, who will support Hyundai here and there.

[@ShasankShekhar]

Oh that clears it....thank you

[@DropkickNation]

[@yusufkawolo4459]

Sorry for takamoto

Yeah such a shame for him. He is back on stage today to get more experience at Rally Mexico (this is his debut here).
