Petter makes same mistakes when Loeb is already out so I don't expect any change...Quote:

Really guys, seven years without a win. How is that speed to be seen?
The purpose of this isn't annoy Petter fans, but I'm truly having a hard time seeing that winning pace.
I see your point, and in my view it's the pace to be the best on any given stage. He won an awful lot of stages last year bearing in mind how bad a season it was for him, and if he can combine that pace with consistency then he has the ability to win. He's not as fast as Loeb, but last year he beat Mikko and JML in straight fights, and has beaten Sordo in the past too when Dani was in good machinery. Therefore with Loeb out the picture and if he can get his head in gear he should be podium-ing on most events and should be capable of winning a round or two as well, especially in Greece/GB/Mexico where he's always fast. Yes the lack of win for 7 years is worrying, but Dani hasn't won ever and most would say he has the pace to win events.Quote:

But if he gets a moral boost from a win, we will see the good old Petter back, and then he will be able to fight the other two for the title again
7 years without a victory does something to your head, that is natural for anyone. But he qualifies by a mile as the best option left on the market!
Østberg still need one more year to be a title contender, he is still driving with a bit too much safety, but he will get there.
Agree almost entirely! Maybe there is some sub-conscious bias towards Petter from me but I just still see him as one of the fastest guys in the world still. Just needs to get his head in gear.Quote:

Don't forget there's 5 years age difference between their cars...
That's the question.. It is really only the car..?
I have never said that.
