If he knew how the championship go on maybe JML had slow down a little for helping Mikko,but nothing is sure!Quote:

(First Hirvonen of course) :D
Malcolm has never shown much interest in promoting one of his drivers for drivers' title - he lets them fight fairly. His only action related to this is to freeze positions when both cars are in commanding lead and fight between team's driver would jeopardize that. Examples of this are plenty from McRae-Sainz -era when two big egos were in same team.Quote:

Well I was in Australia in 2007 and visited Mount Warning district and Tweed district and drove the same roads they are going to rally. I must say that those roads were very similar to Finland but narrower and much, much more stones on the road. and on that time of the year it is still very humid as well. So, I expect the sweeping effect to be near zero. Anyway, who has the possibility to go there, must use the possibility. Even the nature without rally is worth watching.
Greetings from France!

What about a new point system in WRC?
I can see that the difference between drivers is extremely big!
Something must be done for that,hey?
Any suggestions or information??

Loeb seems a little bored and not concetrated for first time last years.
And for the battle of 3-4 Latvala can make it and take the 3rd position but needs at least 3 pondiums in a row...
We have to wait until next weekend to take a look of what will be done in the one of the most unpredictable championships of last years ;)
If Mikko would have had that same killer attitude he had in Finland and really risked for win at OZ, I would have cheered for his title this year. But unfortunately he played it safe and took the second best points from Australia and basicly let Sebastien to take the win. Now he has one point lead which after Catalonya will be lost. There's a risk Mikko will have to struggle for podium. When Rally GB is at hand, if Mikko is behind Loeb more than one point, and one point only, he has lost the title.
Well, thre's always a next year.... :dozey:
The main think for Spain is to beat Sordo.Loeb is for sure out of reach,we all know that...Bear in mind though that Spanish roads are exactly the same as last year,so that's a little help for Mikko.He knows what he will face and this will help the team to adjust better to the event's requirements,because last year they had screwd up in the first loop...If Sordo beats him then he will need help from Jari or Petter...As for his attitude in Australia,during the pre-event interviews he seemed rather afraid for a possible retirement and talked more for second rather than first place...Quote:
