Could also be that Petter ignored Prodrive... Last year he was 3rd in the championship, in front of 2 of your "faster ones"...
But I dont care really, you have been doing this anti Solberg thing here the last 10 years.

I Like Solberg, but I must say there are 1 or even three drivers who might be faster than him in the short term, if given the oppurtunity (Tanak, Hanninen, etc....).

I think that the Acropolis Rally says everthing about what Citroën think about Petter. Faster than evereyone and then told to get back into his place and not threaten the FRENCH team and their FRENCH drivers.
Petter can fight it out with the best as he is one of the best. Look at Rallye Catalunya 2010, jumps straight into a new car and finishes 4th a minute and a half behind the king of tarmac Loeb. Who else on the scene can do that? Ford and Citroën don't like the fact that he can do that. I think that his "lack of speed" in Finland is more lack of motivation and disgust about how he has been treated

Hardly Walter Röhrl winning first time out for Audi on the Monte, though, was it?

That such an achievement is considered worthy of mention says a lot about the level of competition on the WRC these days.

N.O.T have you ever been in a service park when 'things' mysteriously happen to rally cars? No manufacturer will allow a customer car to beat or match the works cars.

LOL... goodnight.
