What Buzz and Cali are describing is what happened at Mitsubishi in the late 90's when Tommi was dominating the championship. Now some say that Mitsubishi didn't simply build a car for Tommi and that the others just weren't that great. Whatever you believe it's hard to fathom why Subaru would build the team and car around a guy who has never taken a win, let alone a title as Petter has done.
I simply don't see Subaru building the team around Chris and shutting out Petter..... come on! We all know how fast Petter is and how when the car is performing how he is up there with the top drivers. Subaru haven't made the car for Atkinson, Petter has simply lost his mojo and has forgotten how to drive like a winner.
DonJippo is perfectly right, both drivers get the chance to test and adapt setting to their liking. Petter is simply not doing this as well as Chris. Cali's example of Markko is a funny one. I seem to remember Duval doing quite well in the Ford Focus 03. The reason why Markko did the bulk of testing was because when compared to Duval he is a much more complete driver and you have to remember that Colin and Carlos were out the team at the end of 02 when the car was being developed.Rule 1 of the forum, always accuse anyone who disagrees with you of bias.I would say that though.
