Has there been any other driver whose career has followed the same arc as Jari Matti's? On his day, no-one is faster, except maybe Ogier, but this has become a pattern of behaviour. I am convinced it is all in his head, but question if he is ever going to beat it, and reach his full potential.

I think his full potential was second half of 2011. Arc shape - well described [attachment=1:35ouvca8]icon14.png[/attachment:35ouvca8]

This thread should be renamed "Rocks vs JML", or the opposite

I think Latvala has AGAIN made driving too compicated to himself. He knew Ogier had an upperhand testingwise and he proved that performing very well at Monte and then superbly at Sweden. Latvala however wasn't one with the car like with Fiesta and pressed a panicbutton ... very much like Solberg used to do, and started to change the setup in the middle of the rally. He got even more confused and tried to catch the gap by taking risks which didn't pay off. I'm not sure if it was a delusion that VW didn't expect podiums from Latvala in the first rallies or not. But Latvala has noticed how fast VW can be by the hands of Ogier. And now he tries to par that.... He should definately calm down, take it easy in the next rally, learn the car, build a suitable setup for his driving style and then drive fast. Now he is not only destroying cars, he is destroying his career as well

When I go to WRC event, I want to see the best drivers as always. If I want to see some national drivers, I can go to some other less popular event.. Just simple.
