Time's Up for Latvala...

Clueless Malcolm Wilson will probably still keep Latvala, hopefully the Ford management will step in and take control!!!!

Solberg indeed is a solution...but can the ford team afford him ??

Atkinson isn't faster than Latvala nor is more consistent

I honestly dont quite know what to say after seeing the footage on ewrc.cz of Jari Matti's crash. I am a 110% believer that JM is probably the fastest driver of a rally car. Seeing that crash tonight scared me...............

Indeed it was VERY frightening...If the stage was live during this, I would have gone mad for sure!!

Indeed. There's a difference though. McRae would either win or crash out. J.M Rollala either totals the car, or finishes down the order.

At this rate Henning, Galli, or even Malcom himself would be better at gathering pionts for the manu championship.

Can't see why not. Even if they only provide him a free car, and promise to not give him any team orders, that's a lot cheaper than paying for everything himself, + he'll get a faster car. Win/Win situation.

Still, at the rate Latvala's crashing cars, it would be cheaper to pay Petter a decent salary...

Good point

My personal tip is Bosse or Peter (and Duval wouldn´t be bad as well)

McRae in his early days was not the winner we know now

Still a lucky boy

Duval isn't faster (except tarmac), isn't more reliable and has no money, no co-driver and way too much self-confidence. Not a good deal in my point of view...
