Ten years ago he might even not had started his rallycareer. I´ve seen him driving en Evo 4 around 2002, maybe on his fourth or fifth rally so good that he set times not long after swedish champion. The rest of his rally career is history I know but he´s done well all the time he´d driven international rallies. Even a PWRC win in Spain about five years ago. He´s now at his best age starting a WRC career with VW in 2013. Top five almost at once. Believe me!Quote:

would like to see him in selected events as guest star though
I don't think that anyone except me overhyped Paasonen in this forum. So once again you're totally wrong Mr.Mousefart.
Hamburger boy haha
Anyways wouldn't Ogier replace Loeb when he retires? Then P Solberg can take seat number two. Bet no one though that? Hah!
Talking about credibility....Quote:

Top five is not so impressive, though.Quote:

Thats true! Its all about getting to the finish, and Räikkönen has been doing that in the top 8 on the rallies he has started. Great! But looking at the stagetimes it is not so impressive pace from him, and saying that he can be champion material is judging from that very unrealistic. He is a good rallydriver, but he will never even win a rally. Ever.
Kimi´s still learning....Quote:
