of not being the best this year...

Well, for me the real champion is the one who can combine speed and reliability. Mikko's done both so far. I believe he will be a worthy champion in any case, even judging only by the first 9 races. I wish both men good luck, however want Mikko to take the title. It's like when Alonso beat Schumacher...

For what I've seen in Finland with my eyes Mikko (2k) ;) he's as worth as Sebastien if not more :p :

What is wrong with some people. The champion is the one with the most points, they all get the same oppotunities as each other so if one driver loses thanks to a crash (or two) they have nobody to blame but themselves.

Mikko has been very consistent this year & sometimes thats what wins a championship, Loeb has lost sight of the prize in the 2nd half of the season & it's cost him.

Does anyone else think that Loeb stuggles on new events/stages, is it possible his pace notes are too complex so when he writes new ones they don't have all the info that he needs to drive flat out.

Agreed. Three victories and being on the podium every rally so far except for one (which was only due to a technical failure) with no major errors is more impressive than five victories and three crashes.

Still, Mikko doesn't really have much of an advantage in the championship yet; although he's 3 points ahead, it's pretty much a given that Seb will win in Spain and Dani will surely be fast there too. It'll be an excellent second half of the season!

Mikko is definately in trouble in Spain. Not only Loeb and Sordo but he'll haveto watch Ogier too. And I wouldn't be surprised if Citroen hire another specialists to that rally.

And from his own camp, Mikko doesn't get any help on tarmac :mark:

Those three points melt like butter in Spanish sun. Mikko has to win yet another rally on gravel. The better if he'll win both, Oz and UK.

Don't be sure for the sun...I hope for changing weather and then everything can happen... :D And Latvala must help!!Ford have to concentrate on one of the championships.Driver's is by far the most reachable goal,so Latvala must contest against Loeb.I know that this is too dangerous,but Sordo will do the same(against Mikko) at least in Spain...

Mikko will struggle in spain but Loeb will struggle in Aus, new event, hasn't had much luck on new events lately and at very least going into it his confidence will be down because he has struggled on new events. Add to that driving flat out he couldn't quite match Mikko in Finland (and the new Aus course is meant to be something between Fin & NZ) and I think this title is slowly heading in Mikko's direction.

Of course being rallying, anything can happen.
