Fair to say that Robertson is a racing man - I guess Kimi is very much "his own man" and decides what he wants to do.

I think I understand it, but how will a non-Rally fan understand it. I know they mean well, but it seems as though there are new ideas every year or so, all to create interest in the WRC. By making the sport cheaper and getting more Manufacturers, meaning more drivers fighting will create interest. There wasn't a lot wrong with the sport 10-15 years ago, not perfect, but a damn sight better than it is now - all after changes to make it 'popular'.Quote:

Robertson doesn't get a 'cut' if Kimi goes Rallying, but gets a good wedge if he signs for Toyota, so off course he will talk it down.Quote:

I saw that too.
I had thought his WRC was over but would be good to see him back, more so if he can re-ignite the type of driving he did during his WRC Ralliart days. Thought with Stobart that bit of passion was missing.
Thats nice to hear, that mean my friends sponsoring money has not gone in the drain.Quote:

It's partially true, but that's how you have to drive the Focus if you want speed at the exit of the corners ... anyway, in tarmac he was totally boring (like everybody else btw ^^), but in snow/gravel he was always the best to watch (look at Sweden, Sardinia and Finland clips in spite of all).Quote:
