Where's the difference?

I'll give you that, but totally different circumstances (big number of crashes this year).

Then the rest of your words are useless.

Stop trying to separate the team name issue from the unfair dismissal issue. As I have demonstrated, they are inherently interlinked. Araujo is only challenging the team's right to use that name because the fired him. I believe he is trying to use it as leverage against them to force his way back into the team, because the threat of having their licence suspended and taking the time to file for a new one will seriously limit their ability to compete.

Why do you so adamantly and emphatically believe that Araujo is right? You have completely ignored everything but his claim to the team name, and while it may be a perfectly-valid claim, I have repeatedly demonstrated that there are factors - such as his accusation of unfair dismissal - that have the potential to completely change the reasons for why this is happening.

So without the retirements and drops this weekend, and Atko came 7-8-9-10th in the end, what would people be saying??

"Atkinson is faster then AA but he's better? It's the car" yet he would have done AA's normal end of rally position?

Rumours about Kubica had test with Ford in France in Circuit des Ecuyers

That's interesting. It's becoming increasingly obvious that Kubica won't be returning to Formula 1. He simply doesn't have the full range of movements in his arm to handle a Formula 1 car ... but maybe he can still handle a rally car.
