JML vs Gigi?

[Viking]

my money is on the factory driver who gets to do the testing before the rallies.

Mine also.

I am putting my money on Jari matti Latvala. Simply because he has shown awesome pace last year, im sure the ice and snow of Monte is not his favourite as he was new to the tarmac scene last year and said he was just steadily trying to pick up his pace.

Put GG and JML on gravel and I think we will see a different story. GG however is very quick all round although JML I think will be going quicker throughout the year.

He just said now it's all about right experiences and wrong experience and learning where to go with them...he is young so he has ambition and raw speed, although for his age he is a very level headed driver and no doubt a future world champion...

I've voted for JML although I'm disappointed with his monte carlo. I believe that across the season, in case of direct competition between both, malcon will put orders to gigi let latvala get more points for Ford.

Galli. Every time. JML will be great in 2, maybe 3 years time... but considering the results GG delivered in Mitsubishis, 307s etc, GG's speed and experience is ready to deliver drivers points now.

There is only one way to settle this, arm wrestling MR PAPARAZZI!

I think the underlying point might be that Gigi is as fast as he will ever be. He will likely drive smarter, and finish more consistent in the final years of his WRC career but he will not be getting any faster.

JML is still young, still getting faster, and still maturing. While Gigi will be making the most of what he has JML still have the potential to be finding more for himself. If Malcom's firm hand has a similar effect on JML as it did on Mikko (consistency wise) then I think JML will score more points as he learns to be fast and finish.

The question will be to see how JML copes with the pressure of expectations when he gets to events/surfaces where he has enough experience that there are no acceptable excuses (I fear JML will have a lot of punctures this year which may end up having a really negative impact on his concentration).

Let's wait for Mexico and we will make a better avaliation. Monte Carlo and Sweden are tow very particular events.

Probably Latvala if he does not keep crashing or have problems.
