    And Ott seems to be the only driver to win a stage in all of the events this season. Like Ott said himself, there's obvious potential in Yaris.

    18 yes, my bad. I forgot to count SS10 from Corsica, the joint stagewin with Lappi.

    Ott and Lappi both looking like future champions. Latvala's "to finish first, first you have to finish" attitude isn't paying off.

    Do You really believe he followed that attitude on the stage he had more confidence and crashed?

    Just as a reality check. Since Finland win last year Lappi has actually shown surprisingly little. This is first time where he really can be satisfied with a rally.

    Of course not. I said earlier in the Corsican thread that he was finally driving like he needed to: pushing for speed, not just settling for points. I'm saying that he played that strategy in the previous rounds and it didn't pay off.

    I think if Toyota doesn't have overheating issues in Argentina that they'll have a very strong result; if Latvala drives like he did on stage 8 (or 7?) he could very well take the win from 6th or 7th in the order.

    His results this year haven't been too representative of his actual pace. He's made mistakes or suffered punctures but his speed is definitely there now.

    I think it payed off. He was actually the best of the Toyota drivers until this round, and if he played safe until the end probably he wouldn't be, and my be that was his problem.

    Latvala's first part of the season has never been strong, the 2nd part has always been, I don't know the reason, but perhaps he should have more patience and wait for "his" moments. Just my opinion.

    I wonder if Jari still thinks he is 1st driver in team?
