To be fair, he is not slow at all, he would be a good driver on smaller events but he is not world class.

Very true actually. This is going to sound hypocritical, but it annoys me when people disrespect Wilson. He's a nice lad, great to watch onstage, and could, if the conditions were right, challenge for top 5 or even podium.Quote:

Bit disappointed by Kimi's slow times and crash. He was better on Arctic in comparison to Sordo. Marcus and Petter also disappointed, even before thier respective offs. Both have had only one stage where they looked good and without there incidents would be roughly +90s after only one day. Still hope for points for Petter even if they are low points. 8th is as much as I dare hope for.
The win? IMO it's between Loeb and Mikko despite Sordo's very, very impressive pace. The battle with JML for 3rd should be an interesting one. Ogier also going surprisingly well - one of very few drivers to not have a problem (except the overshhot everyone had!).
Look forward to tomorrow. Starts at 06:58 for us in the UK so may miss the first stage as Petter isn't fighting up there. Hope everyone on the stages is having a good time.
I must admit that on stages Wilson always looks better than his times are telling.
No doubt he is a nice lad but under what conditions could he challenge for a podium?Quote:

Lindström speaks about Kimi's off for MTV3:
It first was a small spin after a crest. They had to drive 20 metres to opposite direction to turn the car around by handbrake. There were snow in the radiator, so windscreen wentmisty. Kimi drove slowly, but said he couldn't see anything, that they had to wait for the radiator to warm up and mist to clear out. At that time car hit a snowbank and stayed there. Lindström went to warn other competitors when Kimi tried to dig the car up alone with small garden shovel they carried in the car. They thought a help would arrive, but instead it was a TV group that declined to help and filmed everything. There were no spectators at the point to help.
Sic transit gloria mundi.
Oh come on! I was just talking about the livery!
