Have you seen Novikov's stage times? When he's on form - when he's Novikon - he can be extraordinarily quick. But when he's Novikoff, he's usually wrapped around the one object that seems impossible to crash into.
Anyway, a thought occurred to me about Alexey Lukyanuk: Nasser al-Attiyah controls the purse strings at Ford, but he seems to be happy to trust to Malcolm Wilson's judgement. If Wilson is genuinely impressed by Lukyanuk, then it should not be hard to convince al-Attiyah to put him in the car, even if it us only for a limited campaign, like Hanninen.

Probably. But at the current rate, the only way anyone is going to catch Volkswagen is to take a gamble with their driver line-up.
