Alright. I'll bite...

The time has come for Latvala to beat the current VW protege,
the way Ogier did it in Citroen to prove he is a true champ material.
An eye for an eye, a tooth for a jaw!

It's a ONCE in a lifetime opportunity one shouldn't miss!

you mean Latvala has to form an alliance with capito to dethrone Ogier ? not very wise. In citroen is ended with that bald ugly manager losing his job and ogier to be beaten senseless by the champ and move to exile...

most of times yes,but sometimes with less prone to fade pads.Its not first time that even a wrc car fade his brakes.Last part of stage was very demanding to brakes,plenty of brakes for u turns,a lot of downhill,and not high speed to cool them.

Yeah, You have 60-70 meters to brake from 150km/h+ to zero. It is brake problem.

Latvala isnt ready for something like that.First he must be fast at any surface like Ogier.
And as you saw at Monte is not ready.
The only he can do now is to be close at points with Ogier,and if Ogier make a mistake to pass him.
So its a matter of luck,unfortunately for him,and for us.

If this happened to a guy who did not have such a reckless style then i could believe that this was not his fault but with this guy ?? nope...

VW choose him as a 3rd driver and the fact that he finishes 3rd in rallies behind the 2 other polos in a surface that has yet to master is a good indication that VW choice was correct.

On this event of course he deserves his 3rd place, but the post I replied to was saying he was the 3rd best driver, he isnt.

i agree with this. if it was fading brakes then he should have a bit of indication of them going off. he could have slowed down a bit earlier. i dont believe it was catastrophic failure at that moment
