Comming from the coutry of Fittipaldi, Piquet and Senna you cannot settle for Nobre and Olivera ;) Let's hope they can generate the interest and then there will be a top driver from Brazil within 5 years.Quote:

The kid is good, but whan he is going real fast, he crashes. (the new Duval???)
It reminds me another driver... I can't remember his name :rolleyes: .Quote:

JML, where are you... ;)
Don't see too much praise for Mikkelsen on here, but bearing in mind he's not even pushing flat out his pace is very good. To all those who said that he stood no chance against Ogier, this should prove you wrong.
Mikkelsen has been amazing so far. I think he never started in Agrentina before, didn't he?
injured because of a ski crash... ;)Quote:

If he can be tactical and follow the splits of someone as talented as Ogier then the sky's the limit for this boy.Quote:

Oliveira already caught Salazar with 10 minutes penalty... I am starting to move to N.O.T's side, its getting annoying how gradually slower and slower people come to the scene..... one year earlier I thought Merksteijn is a disgrace, now he is something like middle class driver OMG
He did even 2010 IRC with M-Sport run car...Quote:

Mikkelsen looses quite a bit in this stage to Ogier.
Seem to have jinxed Mikkelsen in that last stage - lost almost 30s from the middle of the stage to the end.
Can you tell what military vehicle is that? When battle tanks can“t make it REAL mines, you have to know something special...Quote:

The battle between Ogier and Mikkelsen is going to be interesting... What problems did ogier have on ss4 ?
Neuville is still not in the big league....he cannot control the pace of a WRC car as it seems yet....
A puncture.Quote:
