Time's Up for Latvala...

Who is carrying out the test driving for M-Sport these days ?
Who would drive the car if JML did a 'Sainz /Loeb'' and fell off his mountain bike ?

I think that kresta is part of the M-sport as a test driver.....at least he was a few years back

If they find some young ace who's never driven in the WRC before, they'd surely test him out on Munchi's before the factory team.

There isacertain Irish driverdoing pretty well in the IRC who could probably be tempted.

Mostly Mikko and Jari-Matti, no test drivers anymore as testing is limited so it's better to give all possible time for team's drivers.

huh?

I totally fed up with this guy. Send him and bring Petter Solberg to 2nd driver.

Markko Martin has been the most recent non-competitive Ford test driver. And I imagine JML will face demotion to Stobart for at least NORF... no idea who would replace him. Petter would be extraordinary.

two words... MARCUS GRONHOLM

I think Finland will be make-or-break rally for Latvala. I would say exluding mechanical problem with his car, a podium finish should be a must for JML in Finland. If he fails to bring his car home in Finland, I think Ford will replace JML with Duval for the remaining three rallies.

Duval for tarmac.. :)
