Abbring driving top notch R5 Peugeot, while Lappi fighting with old Skoda S2000. Come on Mirek. Where are your loyalty? Abbring is good. Lappi also. By the two guys Lappi showed who´s champion.

Mirek is realistic person. It is clear that this year level in ERC is very low (thanks to the fact that couple of fast drivers are usually driving 33% of the stages). Fast driver should be fast everywhere! Right? What Lappi did in Rally Estonia? Enjoying the view? He was even slower than Rainer Aus who was driving ancient Evo 9 with worse tyres than my wife is using to go shopping?
He didnt set even a single top 3 times during the whole rally.
I was able to spectate him all rounds in shakedown and free practice + around 8 stages during the rally and mostly in technical and slow places. I was very dissapointed.
He didnt won a single stage in Greece.
He one only one stage in Ypres just before crashing out and he didnt win a single stage in Barum before crashing out (this rally should suit to this car extremely well..
Top driver is not allowed to have such unconsistency. He needs to prove himself in WRC2 or in ERC for another year (in some series with real competition) before going further.Colins Crest = Möldri Mätas

Lappi might be ERC champion, but he's still too immature and I am a bit disappointed with him, especially when he failed even to win APRC last year, that really showed there's still work to do.

Uh? That top notch car which breaks every single rally? That old crappy Škoda is going for a championship double even with Wiegand. The crappy car also won with Loix and was leading with Kresta who is a retired bloke doing one rally per season. Guys, don't build flying castles in Your head. 208 T16 is no unbeatable space craft. It won only one rally in the whole ERC season.
Wiegand, Breen or Kajetawicz are not Neuville or Mikklesen. Seriously... when Hänninen took the title from Mikkelsen, Neuville, Kopecký or Loix, it was something remarkable. Can You say that about beating Wiegand (no offense to him) or ever-broken Peugeots? I can't. Shall I remember that Hänninen was able to beat Loix in Ypres or Kopecký in Barum? Lappi has not achieved anything like that so far, sorry. He even didn't manage to defeat Gill in APRC when asphalt boy Kopecký did so.Stupid is as stupid does. Forrest Gump

I don't think Lappi is WRC material. It sound little not serious for me. But maybe he can improve after 2-3 more years?!?
