2. Even so he was faster than Latvala on that stage.. as he has been the whole 3 sunday stages, you know, Latvala, the guy that won the rally.
If he decided to keep steady pace he'd end 3rd. But as he himself now said, he wanted a win not a 3rd place and crashed. Oh well, not like he was the only one crashing and making mistakes, luck decides the outcome.
i think you can because it was a stage were all three citroen were pushing like hell...during an event there are very small parts were drivers push to their absolute limits so its not indicational of true speed.Quote:

I think again Petter has lost out due to road position after day 1. But I admire his need to be at the front. I realise the World Rally Troll says that he doesnt have the outright speed to win without others tripping up first, if I had a rally car costing me a half million euros I think Id be happy enough to drive around a minute per stage off Sebastian and be happy enough with that.
To drive at podium pace in the WRC involves taking massive risks all of the time, not just some of the time and means in most cases having absolutely no sympathy on the car,like some of the stages in Turkey etc. I,m sure the World Rally Troll with his vast competition experience understands all this.
Petter is driving his own cars, big big difference and he is still able to head the leaderboard on day 1. Respect :)
hey look.....
they are multiplying.....
so where i was wrong this time ??? Solberg crashed because he pushed to the max to win and still he couldn't match Ogier and Loeb who also pushed hard and had a far worse road position....
what have i done to deserve this ????
Petter was over 5 sec ahead of Latvala and 4 sec ahead of Ogier when he went off, without it he would have won the event.Quote:

plus without anyone doing mistakes i think none would have gained or lose his place....
