Because his main sponsor is Mini, otherwise he only had done 2 or 3 rallyes.

Mayb we can judge Armindo's speed better if and when he gets the 01B? I think Patrik is going to get it soon.

Is Sandell in the prostitute car for NZ?

you mean the ostberg who is currently 3th in the championship, although he has driven 1 rally less then all the other top-drivers and is competing with a non-factory car?

Doing Rally2 every event?

Araujo may not be a stellar driver, but I would have expected him to be faster than he actually is at the moment. Come on, 15 minutes behind leaders now despite the leaders actually not pushing at all?!

What about the quality of team Motorsport Italia in preparing cars for the event?

Speed-wise, maybe, but consistency is lacking in the "A" class drivers at the minute, even Loeb has one retirement already this year(I would say how many JML has had, but Ive lost count)
