Hirvonen half a minute down on 5 km on power stage, instructions maybe... :D
You're in very patriotic mood. ;)Quote:

Yet only one winning driver. That's a paradox.Quote:

I haven't saw footage from Solberg's off, but he had everything in his hands for a short while, but once again, it didn't happen. Also shame for Sordo, Prokop, Tänak, Neuville and Ketomaa to have their rallies plagued by technical issues and own mistakes. After all this it's hard to argue against that Hirvonen wouldn't be the man of the rally: he did what he knows the best and also took the most mature approach when needed. Also, congratulations to Novikov for good result. I hope he takes the best he learned from this rally with him to further rounds.
Hirvonen the leader! :D
Yes, for me too. Also the team of Ketomaa does not seem to be very professional. They were totally lost with the car setup.Quote:

I really cant understand if Mads Østberg isnt in a factory seat next year. He is one of the youngest top drivers, but shows a maturity which should be a strong force for any of the factory teams. A swap with Petter Solberg in the Ford team for next year perhaps...?Quote:
