Ogier about to be excluded from Rally Mexico?

While Sébastien Ogier regained the lead of the Championship at the end of the Rally of Mexico after taking 2nd place behind Kris Meeke, the pilot M-Sport finds himself threatened with exclusion from the event after inspection of his Ford Fiesta WRC.

It's the weight of the gearbox that would be the problem. The FIA ​​commissioners will compare the installed model with the one used for the car's homologation. The decision should be made in the coming days.

If Sébastien Ogier finds himself excluded, he would fall to 3rd position in the Championship, 14 points behind Jari-Matti Latvala (Toyota). Thierry Neuville (Hyundai) would recover 2nd place ahead Ott Tänak (M-Sport).
