Does anyone think Østberg, Novikov, Tanak or Neuville will chrash less than Petter going at the same speed or is it okay for Wilson and the sponsors (Quatar) to "go slow" and collect 5th and 6th places after Citroen and VW??

I can`t really understand why I`m bothering with this....But, mediocre driver??? Mads Østberg??? If I should rate your post, it would be s strong candidate for a "Joke of the Year"-award!Quote:

one thing ill say is. im a Very Big Fun of Petter. but his age and his time on wrc and he still gets beaten by new comers and young drivers. this means he don't have any more room to learn. that is what he has got. and he is not a winner.. someone like Novikov. he is young and can learn. so if it was me i would have gone for Novikov. i love petter but that is the reality..
Colin Clark said: Talk this morning is that Tanak has budget for 9 WRC events next year with limited support from M-Sport. Anyone know anymore?
WTF? Qatar bankrupt?Quote:

Unfortunately Petter has not done himself any favours last season, far too many needless accidents, leading to damage that someone has to pay for
WT
Yes, I was about to say the same, because the money from Qatar should mean MW can support nonpaying drivers. At least two of them, and Petter should be the second. I´m sure Mads didn´t have to bring money this time.Quote:

It is sad for me seeing some WRC drivers struggle to get the money, and alot of teams and manufacturers are withdrawing from WRC (I wished Mini stayed as a manufacturer). I wish if they can make the money like those greedy F1 teams!!
Mads Ostberg has a future and great potential. Regarding his huge progress this year, especially on asphalt he could become one of the very top drivers. Petter had a great carreer, great achievements, and he's still fast. But from now on I think his prestations can only decline. It's good that M-Sport is looking forward in stead of wanting to have "a big name" in the team, Ostberg, Novikov and Tanak are the guys they will have to rely on in 2-3-... years, if they want to win events.
