    Nothing that has not been said before. IMO the lack of social media content needs to be addressed, but the biggest issue is the piss poor tv coverage. To much in car, to many interviews. Youtube videos are more exciting and jawdropping than the main tv coverage.

    TV coverage is a big thing. RallyX are doing it for free, and is getting more and more popular.

    He should have been more serious about that win and consider it as a step to improve further and not the top of his career, he cashed in far too early, now its late.
    Perhaps an understandable assertion to make NOT but probably 180 degrees wrong direction.

    If you know Paddon at all, you'll know that his goal is not to win one WRC event but to become champion. No one is more committed or driven to achieve that goal than he. If anything, rather than setting the bar too low he may have been setting it too high and failed to recognize both the enormity of his achievements to that time and the degree to which his own efforts and abilities were responsible for them.
    Never do anything you wouldn't want to explain to a paramedic.

    I would say that every fast youngster is there with that in mind, some progress quite well, other have or have had setbacks, just like him etc. Nothing more remarkable.

    What are you talking about? By what measure is he more committed than anyone else? How would we know?

    Not to mention Lappi and Suninen who tend to be too depressive about every small thing.

    He was replying to a village idiot comment claiming that Paddon cares more about social media than driving and thinks he doesn't need to improve.

    In any case, sollitt didn't say Paddon is more committed than the others, just that the others aren't more committed than him

    Is that some mind game to measure equal in weight statements, or just everyone is equally desperate against the current champion?
