Damn...

Oh god....What have i done ???????????

LOL

Hirvonen is doing a very good job in Argentina at the moment :up:
He would deserve the victory after the undeserved disqualification in Portugal :mark:

This week-end in Acropolis Hirvonen was a bit disappointing after his punctures of day one(too quickly stop fighting)but on the results the Ford drivers once again "give him" the maximum points he can get behind his world champion teammate ;)

I think Mikko is doing what he always does, driving carefully and scoring as much points as possible. On a personal level, I think the change of teams hasn't really made much difference on his pace, which suggests the cars may not be that different. In fact, as of now, he is not much faster than he was last season in the first half. In Monte Carlo, falls behind Solberg, in Sweden struggles to win an event he had previously won easily, in Portugal does well however we all know how atypical that rally was. In Argentina he did very well, but then again he always did do well there. Now in Greece by far the slowest of the facory guys.

This just proves to me that Mikko always was and always will be the best choice for a second factory seat, nothing more.

And once again, some great job from Mikko, currently in N-Z :cool:

Even if no victory in Finland for Mikko, congratulations for his resistance to Seb' until the end of the rally :cool:

Mikko gave no real threat to Sebastien, no need to congratulate him for that.

I agree, Loeb seemed to push only just to stay ahead in very controlled way. He didn't allow Hirvonen to pass him in front, this would be real battle.

At least I heard Seb saying he pushed as hard as he could several times. Or he just said that...? No I dont think so.
