Well I have been wrong before. According to my calculations Meeke has started 39 WRC events and only finished in 20.
No athlete wants their major statistic to read: Did Not Finish.

I must protest. It´s obvious you have Meeke in the sky. I hope he´ll do a good 2014 but bashing Ostberg without mention Meeke´s 100% retirement in three(?) rallies doesn´t it say something to you?Quote:

Neuville, Hänninen, Sordo and Atko.
That is a statistic of 50% DNF and that in years that the cars are more and more reliable. Even Duval finished more...Quote:

I don't see why people are thinking for years that a new WRC season will be very exciting. It is all about to win and Volkswagen and Ogier will be even more dominating in 2014 than they did this year. It is so long ago that we had a real fight for the title between more than 1 or 2 drivers. :(

If you don´t count it out yourself, please you couldn´t even be a WRC-lover.
I don't see a new interesting driver in the WRC next year really. Ogier, Latvala, Hirvonen, Novikov, Sordo, Meeke, Ostberg: all have a lot of experience in the World Rally Championship. Neuville isn't new anymore, just as Hänninen and Bouffier. Who do you see than as a new driver in the WRC?
maybe for 1-2 rallies then the normal routine will continue.Quote:
