Mikko.....what can we say?
SS11] Nasser Al-Attiyah (Ford) - Stopped on the stage approximately 21 kilometres into the test
I think Neuville moved with some setup change in the wrong direction compare to yesterday. Hirvonen also more near to him than yesterday. 8 sec at 41km, yesterday was 20sec on half distance.
Both Kubica and Evans will score wrc Points this rally
? Sordo was a big dissapointment in Finland , Hirvonen a quite positive supprise in Germany or at least neutral.Quote:

Yes, but what you expected in Germany from him? He say that it's his best tarmac drive ever. On the gravel events he is clearly dissapointQuote:

Ogier -5 at last split,must be the point where Latvala hit his door(everybody is faster than him after this split)
did you see his time at this stage?Quote:

Gooo Pontus Tidemand! Real good event as usual for him this year!! :D
Yes. What I wanted to say that Mikko not as big dissapointment than Sordo in Finland. Mikko's time is over.Quote:

It will be interesting after the season... I agree that Hirvonen not has have a good run with the citroen but I don't think that he will disappeared from WRC. Citroen will not take him on 2014 I think but M-sport or Hyundai will. He is whatever we think, a good and fast driver in WRC. Right about now there is Ogier, Latvala, Neuville, Sordo, Hirvonen that is the "top drivers" that are most consistent if you guys understand me, but Östberg and Novikov is also fast but do more mistakes over a season then the rest. both Östberg and Novikov can be bloody fast aswell but I don't see them fighting for the WRC-title for some seasons at least.Quote:

I think M-Sport can be an option if Citroen takes over Neuville for next season?
But we will see!
Petter Solberg also want a seat for next season as for the swedish/Norwegian medias... hahahahahaha :)
Amilk:
I think it will, and Panzerplatte will be veeery interesting! :)
SS11 - Elfyn fastest of the WRC 2 drivers. He was 2.2 quicker than Kubica and now just 1.4 off regaining the lead :)
you used the right word.At Greece we used to say ''hope is the last thing that dies'' :pQuote:

But I don't see that any top teams will take him on, but maybe Hyundai will if he now decide that he wants to go back but it's more likely that he stays with rallycross.
I like Petter as a person in WRC, he is fun and so on and he was also a real fast driver but after the Subaru era he dropped year after year sadly...
Hyundai will be a good choice. Mikko is generally fast, a hard worker and always diplomatic.Quote:

Yes I would love to see Petter Solberg again in the WRC, independently of the manufacturer :D
What can we expect this afternoon? Still 126k to go this afternoon and tomorrow, that's one third of the rally. I'm impressed by Latvala's speed and consistency on these very typical tarmac roads. But he has only got about 15". One spin, one brake-point wrong, another Hinkelstein, and he's out of the lead. But to whom? Sordo is charging (finally), and I don't think Neuville can go any faster at this point.
Duval... haha.. No way. He was just to stupid and didn't drive "smart" at all and lost his career...Quote:

Not that Citroen is a "bad" team but that it can be "hard" to get a "good start" compered to M-Sport/Ford.
But I don't know, I don't have any experience there so ;) ;)
I think that Latvala will go little bit slower and safer this loop and he will stay in lead (finally!!!) :D (like that Latvala is back! :) )Quote:

But it will be interesting with the rain, Panzerplatte will be bloody slippery with all this loose gravel...
I think that Kubica will charge and hold on to the lead in WRC 2 and for JWRC, ofc - Tidemand will drive smart and hold on to his lead aswell :)
