Ford Focus’ Mikko Hirvonen did not make a great start in the Rally Mexico this week, as the shakedown stage of the North American event saw the leader of the overall classification lose no less than 3 seconds as compared to his rival Sebastien Loeb. Fortunately for the Finn, the time difference will not count in the weekend’s action, as this was the last test before the start of the rally.<\/p>\n
