Time to wake up for Sr. Wilson with his satelit teams (especially Jr. Wilson but Henning , Villagra also has their on limits)

I'm actually a Petter-fan. Just stating the facts, the situation vs the other 4 drivers has been pretty consistent so far. He has had about same speed as Latvala and Loeb, a bit faster than Ogier and Sordo. For today his best hope is 3rd some 25 seconds off lead. What happens on Sunday is harder to predict.
its better he replaces wilson jr with sordo at stobert as citroen dont need him much with ogiers current form :(Quote:

SS10: 29:22,0 (+38,6)
The retirement was a hard hit for Hirvonen's championship battle.
- I guessed that it's going to happen at some point since we have been driving through so many races without retirements. But to have the car go to a ditch on a nearly straight road, roll and brake the front wheel. Things like that shouldn't happen, Hirvonen said.
His co-driver Lehtinen was surprised too.
- I understand if we have a tough attack going on, that you can go wide, but how can you make a mistake in a place like that where there was a corner turning to right and good visibility. We both wondered about that, Lehtinen said.
- In the morning we started to drive seriously. We knew that Petter Solberg and Sebastien Loeb tried to run away. The first bit of the stage went well. I found a good rhythm but then I made a gross mistake, Hirvonen remembered.
- The crash tore up the left front suspensions, everything. You couldn't continue. Probably they will get it in order so that we can continue on Saturday.
