i wonder how Solbergs driving is then according to mr quitter.
I think Latvala should try and reach a deal with citroen when Loeb retires.
yep. Lets hope so
I think that the French language skills are a prerequisite to get a drive with Citroen.Quote:

What annoyes me in all of this is that Latvala is wasting some of his best years of his career on this, I would love to see VW picking him up, that would be good for both.
These good times that P. Solberg set today are mainly because of his road position?
Or does he have a real chance of fighting for victories throughout this year?
In my opinion P. Solberg really has the chance to win rallies this year. His pace is not the problem as we can see this weekend ;)
These are hars words, but still in the principle you are right!! Mikko is (again) sleepy driver and if already on the second rally of the season he is satisfied with his position and giving up any kind of resistance, playing tactics...his points advantage thanks to Sweden victory against Loeb&Ogier will melt like a snow on the warm spring sun....Mikko, at least try some stages flat-out, to prove that you can at least follow Seb1&Seb2 gravel pace.....Quote:

i think there is no reason for him to try and win anything from now on....
I think Loeb destroyed his spirit 2 years back ridiculing him like a a crippled fish in G.B....from then on he is not the same.
Lets hope latvala has a clean run from now on so we don't have a one course dinner this year as well....

with his performance till now, he is not having a chance for second position.Yesterday at finish was 1.22,2 beside Ogier,and today after the first loop he is still 1.23,3. while Ogier sweep the roads and he is driving in clean road.At second loop Ogier is going to increase their difference.All these without flat tyres or mechanical problems which are in the playfield as well.Quote:

Hirvonen is thinking like Burns did when he won his title, there no need of winning any rallyes, just grab points from there and there and voila....
Let we all hope that no Finns will be a champ this year.. :D
but Burns didnīt have Loeb against him, if loeb wins most of the rallys your theory doesnīt work.Quote:

Cause of this, wins didn t went to one driver,but to a lot of drivers.In this case its achievable to win the championship without win/sQuote:
