In the podcast interview, JML said "The moment team stops developing the car, is the moment you start loosing". That was his response of the question how competitive Polo could have been. In such...

You made me listen to the whole interview in order to find out why are you quoting me.
if you want to add JML in the same league as Neuville, sure I agree with that.

Yes, they are on F1/WRC rotation with Kubica.

Are you talking about superstition here, or you believe the stage is dangerous? While stages can be classified based of risk factors, tragedy can happen everywhere.

Ok, I give up, you win. Lets follow the rally now.

So what? He needed one event to get use to it. Ogier need how much? 2-3 years?

If you measure potential of WRC car based on ranking, you are way off. Ford will be cham, so what? Does it make it best car? Of course not. Proper Tech Benchmarking will put Ford way back.

Are you saying Ogier needs to get use to team and car for entire season? What kind of cham is he then? Mikkelsen drove Citroen few times, and got 2nd in Germany. Please stop this silly excuses.

Well, you are actually further more making my point here, thanks.

On all events where Meeke, Latvala, Neuville had tech issues and had to retire.

It depends what are you looking for. Car can be fast, reliable, or both. In terms of reliability, Ford started bad, but got it sorted and the end result is visible.
But in terms of speed and...

Well, you tell me why Ogier is not dominant this year then? Because he lost his driver's skills, or because of the car? Explain to me, I'm open for opinions.

Yes but why? Because is better, or because all other teams had plenty of tech issues?

Neuville is the champ for 2017 in my book. I know consistency is part of the game, but without those silly mistakes in the beginning, we wouldn't talk about Ogier at all now. Also, there were few...

While on subject, in Porugal I saw expensive car with TGR stikers in front of Crowne Plaza Porto, while the mecanics were in my hotel - Ipanema Park.

Well, maybe not hint, but attempt to point the fact that thay have the car ready without the need for any new investment. This may help some big bosses change their minds about WRC.

Can we translate this as hint that VW are actually returning next year?
If what Capito is saying is true (and I think it is), they should be competitive next year as well.

Probably that's why Ford supporters got so protective about this discussion.

Wow, Ford boys want everything for free. Unfortunately it doesn't work that way, WRC is not charity organization. Strange why M-Sport share same philosophy with its fens (or the other way around)....

.... and that could only happen if you have the new rule actually in place.

I think the discussion is about what point system is better, not the results it produces. If one team is better than other, it will win no matter what the scoring is. I don't think Hyundai are...

I would like to correct my statement, because I misunderstand the article. I think blocking the points is more fair, and it does add additional level of competition. Not only that, I think WRC2 cars...

Well, having 3rd car playing role is not that bad. It adds additional level of competition. I don't see it as unfair.

So what are you suggesting? Wait for something bad to happen, and than adjust the line if required? Whether this should be done by FIA alone without agreement with drivers is different question.

Questions like "How likely is this to happen?" are usually ignored by safety people. After all they are not employed by Onebet. What usually they ask is "What's the worst that can happen, and how can...
