    what bollocks. stop trying to pump him up, if he hasn't got the brains not to drive himself off the road. if I was on a suicide mission I could be quicker than Rollinpera.

    Oh do pipe down, he is 17. Would be the biggest talent motorsport has ever seen if he would have the brains at that age.

    Ewrc-results lists 49 starts of him with only 4 unfinished events (3 due to driving errors). That's pretty reliable record, for driver of his age it's quite unbelievable. That recent crash doesn't change anything about that.

    One wrong pace note made in recce and now the most reliable youngster is suddenly on a suicide mission...?
    If you don't stand out you're never going to get anywhere, time is running out for Pontus unless he steps up I'm afraid.
