So that also means that Ogier is a poor old who knows nothing about driving.Quote:

by the way, Atkinson just beat loeb on stage 12... yep way out of his depth though!
And almost equal time with Latvala.. Way to go..
Chris sums it nicely:
"Now our pace is about one second a kilometre slower than Loeb’s. I know I’ll get faster - I’m not on the limit yet because everything is new. To explore the limit on these roads is pretty adventurous, but we’ll get there.”"
I have no doubt that Chris would close to Hirvonen and Sordo in pacewise. Actually Chris has been at Hirvonen's pace and near to Sordo already in few stages but it's really adventurous seek limits on these roads.
Atko = a man of talent.
For the life of me I cannot understand why some people seem do not have the ability to give the guy a break!
To those who critisise his pace, how about YOU go out and drive a car from a manufacturer you have never driven before and see how hard it is. Especially with your job prospects laying on the line.
I personally admit that I find it hard enough to smoothly drive a friends car home after a night on the town without hitting the brakes too hard, or jerking with gear changes. Its all about getting accustomed with a car - something that takes a fair bit more time than a few hours in a test car.
Oh.. look.. Atkinson faster than Sordo.
Ah, yes, Loeb is pushing soo hard!Quote:

Hard enough to end on grass. Ok, seriously Loeb has backed little bit but considering many factors Chris seems to be now at the pace - not on Loeb's but somewhere near to Hirvonen and Sordo.Quote:
