This seems to be his party trick.

"needed Lappi to crash out to get it" = Lappi did have a big charge late saturday to catch Paddon who was 'taking it easy' (his words), but couldn't sustain that pace without crashing.

The Hyundai does seem to struggle there, I don't disagree with that. But there is no need to try and twist history to make an argument.

That's what he does here, don't even bother to read his long out of reality blabberings anymore

Eric Camilli in C3 WRC? Please yes!

Why? He is nobody. Ostberg who is by the way clearly better driver in any way is sitting in lower class car.

I'd far rather have a half decent young 'nobody' than literally nobody in a third C3 WRC, which would probably otherwise be the case...

He had his chance. Blew with top WRC machine at M-Sport, had the chance with weaker machine R5 again in M-Sport, blew it away. He had a go with Polo in VW colors and still not acomplish anything. And they are by the way the same age.

Too young and unexperienced for WRC indeed at that time, but what did he blow away in WRC2 exactly?

M-Sport R5 season 2017: 11 starts, 2 wins+ 4 podiums, 2 4th places...an some technical issues an mistakes while driving in podium places.

Polo outings: A) RACC SS11 stopped from 2. place- gearshift issue ; B) Corsica SS12 Castagniccia 2 (47.18 km) Fire, car burn out

You are the one going full retard and making an argument for nothing.

Paddon wouldn't end 4th if Lappi didn't crash from ahead of him, fact. That counts as "barely managed 4th" and "needed Lappi to crash out to get it". 3rd was 1 min ahead so 4th was the best possible result.

So far Camilli is only testing the C3. Maybe this is Citroen’s answer to Katsuta, Hänninen and Huttunen? Remember, non-P1 drivers have a quota of extra testing days.

Could be.
Østberg is still at P1 list, so he is not allowed to test without spending testing days.
