    Well it seems there was an accident and Mikko was involved in some way. Leaving the scene of an accident is a crime, punishable by a fine, licence points and/or prison depending on the severity of the accident.

    And what this has to do with the sport is the fact that neither Mikko or Gronholm stopped, and the fact Hirvonen was driving like a complete tw*t. Puts a bad light on the sport if you've got the worlds leading drivers doing that!
    So neither stopped so what has that fact got to do with the sport. Do you know how many people hit and run everyday? This wasnt even hit and run this was allegedly a near miss that resulted in one car having an accident. The worlds greatest drivers also has nothing to do with it. It hardly puts "The Sport" if thats what you call the shower of rubbish thats the WRC thesedays
    in a bad light. Stuff that puts it in a bad light is drivers carrying on down road sections with three wheels on the car etc. Might of been ok in the old days but in todays society its a no no.
    Also if one set of people say he was on wrong side of road and four others say no he wasnt but driver that crashed was driving to fast what are the police supposed to do? Two different stories from two sets of people, the police wont want create news and have them placed in a bad light in the press.

    The fact is that Hirvonen was driving like a twat and that it puts a bad light on the sport as ordinary members of the public must think that's how all rally drivers drive on the road.

    How do you know he was driving like a **** as you so eloquently put it? Were you there? Did you see it? Yes then you can call him what you like and add to bringing the sport down a peg or two, No well shut up and stop speculating.
    As has been said over 6 pages of worthless internet speculation only one side of the "Alleged" story has been told.
    Get a life and get out more.

    How can you compare a hit and run to what has happened. So if they caused this accident as had been said then you say its ok for them to drive on and not stop and see if the crew are ok. Lets be honest if you came across a car upside down in the road would you stop or would you just drive on? There is no excuse at all for Mikko or Marcus to drive on without stopping or for Malcome to act like he suposedly did.

    Do you have a prove of it? Maybe it's your driver lying to hide his own driving's mistake!

    As the brother of one of the parties involved i think it would be best if this thread was closed as it is going nowhere and is just turning into a slanging match

    Thanks
