Re: Rallye Monte Carlo 2014
Well, am I the only one that thinks that Kubica is not destined for big things in rally?
I've seen him few times on TV, and his driving is full with errors. I guess he's just brave enough to push that pedal, but that's it.
I don't see any talent in him so ever.

Yeah, apart from his driving skills he wins the most at the most difficult stages. Loeb did the same.

Yeah, another piece of great programming.
Re: Rallye Monte Carlo 2014
Wonder how Bouffier will react to losing the lead? Will his pace drop off and he'll get dragged closer to Meeke or do we think the gaps will stay similar for the rest of the day with only Ogier pulling away? Im enjoying the rally :bounce:

If I were Hyundai, I'd be pretty annoyed at whoever decided to drop Bouffier from the lineup!! Interesting to see if the battle may continue later or if Ogier will run away with it now.
Who would you have dropped, past Monte winner Bouffier, 2013 wonderkid junior Neuville, or one of the best no.2s the sport has ever seen Sordo? They chose their fastest driver and their banker, didnt work out this time but they had 3 men for the job and 2 cars, someone had to miss out.
Shame of Kubica, but watching Ogier incar their its incredible that RK was running at that pace, Ogier is an incredible driver but he has had lucky bounces this weekend that another time could have been damage and real time loss
Of course since they are fielding only 2 cars here you make a good point, those two drivers are a reasonable choice. But haven't they got Hanninen and Atkinson for some rallies? Does anybody think those guys will bring a fight to Ogier first time? I know Bouffier is kind of known as a Monte specialist, as old-school rally used to have more, but I wonder if that's not just that he's a generally good tarmac pilot who always happens to do the tarmac event with the biggest profile due to his limited budgets.
I guess what I'm saying is while they've made a reasonable choice that happened to go bad this time, I'd be looking to get him in if
a) they ever run more than 2 cars this year or
b) Sordo or other second drivers don't pay off
And Astro83 yes you may be right, I should look at Bouffier's other results to compare to Sordo... is rally still a "specialist" sport like in 90s and earlier?
