Suninen have better manager ;)
Although Swedes are never your biggest favourites if you're a Finn, Tidemand definitely deserves a chance to show his potential in a World Rally Car. It's almost a bit Hänninen-esque situation for Tidemand now. He's been waiting patiently for his shot, but it's about time to finally get it. If he has to wait another year again, there are Rovanperä, Huttunen and others knocking on the same door for 2018, which won't make it any easier. Would be a real shame if Tidemand doesn't get atleast 4-6 outings in a 2017/2018-spec WRC next year.

Like i said in november 27th. Pontus in WRC should be now or never.
You first said it November 22nd, I remembered replying. ;) https://www.motorsportforums.com/sho...=1#post1200609
Yes :) and it looks... that is NOW =D and as Pontus fan... i will be very happy.
Pontus chose the worst time to leave r5 and climb to wrc. Why should any team pick him over drivers like Paddon and Breen who as we know are without a works seat next season. In any case Paddon and Breen are much safer choice. Lets not forget that there is only one possible seat available and thats incase msport is still there in 2019.
He's not getting picked over Paddon or Breen, he probably (and hopefully) has managed to gather up a package that opens the door at M-Sport. And I for one would much rather see Pontus get his well-deserved chance in the main class than Paddon or Breen taking the last available seat. Sounds a bit rude, but both of them had their chance. Now let's see what kind of action Pontus can bring into WRC.
