Andreas Mikkelsen and Ola Fløene continued the success story they have been writing since the start of the season. They added a third podium at the Rally Mexico to the ones they had previously claimed at the Rally Monte Carlo and Rally Sweden.

Lining up for the first time in the Polo R WRC at this rally, their third place finish propelled also them into second place in the Driver and Co-Drivers’ Championship. The key to their success was to drive safely, but at the same time fast. Despite the unique special stages in Mexico, on which experience is invaluable, they were always within reach of the leaders. In the end, Mikkelsen and Fløene finished just 6.3 seconds behind second-placed Mads Østberg.
