No one has said so(at least not me) I was reffering to the only two that CAN take point away from Citroen M1. And don't fool yourself AF, It's all about the money, even for Bosse.Quote:

Yes, JML had done some bad things among all the latest was the absolute worst one. BUT still he´s the current only one who is capable to drive faster than Loeb (except of course Mikko) in NORF.
There´s one doubt and that´s of course if he can manage to the end of the rally, but you have to belive he´d learned to be focused all the way by now.
So yes, MW is doing the only thing he can do, and that´s letting JML stay in Ford WRC team.
But intersting would be PG in a Stobart... :p :
According this article (sorry it is in Spanish)
http://www.as.com/motor/articulo/ral...asdaimot_6/Tes
Ford is in conversations with Sordo for next year and Wilson will try with Gronholm for some rallies this year (after Finland where JML has been confirmed).
This's something like a GIVEEEEE MEEEE ALLLL YOUUUU GOTTTTT from current driver (JML) or drive for free (Malcolm W.: hahahhahaahahahaha).. XDQuote:

I like JML and enjoy watching him throw the car around, the truth is that it appears that he has to push to his limit far more than Sordo, Miko and of course Loeb. JML is good...But does not seem to be able to keep the pace AND keep get the car back to service.
I dont think Henning has the talent to drive as a #2 with BP Ford. (dont get me wrong, Henning is by far my favorite driver, I love his attitude)
Fact is that Ford is destined to play second fiddle for at least the next few years regardless if Ford signs Sordo. Citroen has been doing a great job of securing the future tallent with the Jr team. Unless Ford takes a page from the Citroen book, they will struggle for the foreseeable futrue.
Not too surprising, Hirvonen did the same thing in Killeri when he drove for Subaru, he didn't win any rallies that year. Then Subaru dropped him, they may have regretted it later.
I just love seeing Malcom getting all pissed everytime Latvala crashes.
Well, with all due respect I hardly see Ford (or anyone else for that matter) hiring a driver who only has experience from his home round of WRC.Quote:

What driver talent searches are being conducted in the UAE. Surely there is an Abu Dhabi taxi driver quicker than the current 3rd team car A D driver and nominate him for the point scoring.
The paint and panel people at M-Sport must love JML, surely with all the overtime they need to put in to straighten his cars, they can now afford to send their children to better schools.
Yes, I know. I said they have Ford seat in their eyes, not the other way around. :)Quote:
