"Had Ott done everything right in 2012, his program would have continued. I have never heard of the experssion: "You are from that small Estonia, that is why you are not taken into a team", that is an excuse of a poor driver"
The co-operation between Märtin and Tänak is not yet over, but something has to change. Also, the chance to get into a works team has not disappeared, but a new start will be difficult and will demand a lot of money.

Thanks AR, much clearer. Markko not happy.
Well, if my memory serves me well, it's not a first time when we hear something like that. About 6 years ago when Ott in very young age was in local "Syrus Rally Team" storie was the same. It was even described in team website...Quote:

By the way. If you see Raul Jeets in Latvia, his car is run by OT Racing. You may guess twice what is behind the letters OT :-P
The boy has talent, but same thing happens again and again when he lets his personality take over. Good thing that Markko is by his side, but he is running out of patience.
Any news about Hänninen rallies ? I hope he will do other events.

Ott was born at the wrong time. 21 century. Not enough to have only a talent driver, needs talent search money. Now is normally be a singer and dont have voice. :mad: Unfortunately, not only he.
