DUVAL F. / PIVATO P. "It's close, but I wan't risk in first loop, checking the pacenotes. Third place should be good, but I preffer to finish."
HIRVONEN M. / LEHTINEN J. "We will go flat out and tried to catch Duval, nothing else to do. Is better to fight than go slow."
Info:
The final stage (Circus Maximus) will be live on Eurosport 2
No power steering for Meeke!! Drops 40s to Ogier etc..
so what do you think? will Duval stay in 3rd or will he "get a problem" to let Miko take 3rd?
any online links?Quote:

Although i am against "team orders" and i wish this won't happen, I think that Wilson will "give" third place to Mikko, because one point in drivers and manufacturers championship is very valuable,and as long as Dudu goes for nothing for the time being...........
That is because Chris has had damper problems, launch control problems and a puncture.Quote:

His Sponsor has been paid for that car and Duval says, he has already a contract for 3 years!
It´s al about money and M-Sport = a company that wants to make money! :s mokin:
Like I said, nothing wrong with notes, just the driverQuote:

Mikko can't pass Duval without team orders :mark:
Nah, Petter is crushing Chris in every stage, Subaru needs to get a better second driver bring in Pons or Martin, Petter clearly #1 in team, Chris only complaining on the car and can not get his setup right.......Quote:

Co-drivers normally don't let their drivers blame them if they didn't make a mistake. How long before JML corrects his explanation?Quote:

DUVAL F. / PIVATO P. "Not bad, but Sebastien not driving on hundred per cent. But I'm happy, I set faster time."
HIRVONEN M. / LEHTINEN J. "Francois is really very fast. Gap is too big now, don't want to make mistake."
only team orders can give 3rd to Hirvonen now...the overall difference is 11 seconds
And Mikko lost the title....
"from sofa to tarmac king" Henning needs to push a little bit more, it will be close to Aava
no one knows that yet, even though the odds are against him. just finish every single rally and hope his rival goes off or have problem.
well lets be honest if mikko was 3rd it wouldn't make such a big difference anyway....the thing is that Mikko is not near the level of Loeb yet and i doubt if he can reach it soon. so the title will go to the most deserving one. however the difference is still small and 1 retirement can change things in the remaining rounds....Quote:

Perhaps they should have put Duval in the BP Ford for the tarmac events taking the pressure of Latvala.
so if mikko would win the title this year, he shouldn't deserve it and should hand it over to loeb?
That is what I meant. Mikko can dream of a title until he learn to drive on tarmac, or Loeb retire from rallying. He can't challenge Loeb, Sordo and Duval on tarmac so it's automaticly five points away from the chase, in every tarmac rally. So, he basicly what he needs is a twenty points lead from gravel rallies :mark:Quote:
