It is very likely Latvala will lead the championship for the first time in his career after Sweden.
Thank god, I feared Ogier would get again one position for free...Quote:

First and second day, until crash, speed wasn't so bad, but still too fast for his experience.
He also wins Yanner this year in ERC also big achievement for driver with so little experience.
In this rally he was both slow and crashed a lot...not a good sign...
His easy winning in WRC2 last year shows quality of that championship. He was also trying ERC events and he has crashed almost on each event (mechanics saved him on Corse before crash). This year winning on Janner was really very lucky, he was going in very high rhythm over the risk. Without really big luck he cannot reach the finish on Janner...Quote:

100 times better than the last F1 guy to go rallying.
Yeah, but You can say the same about Ogiers Monte :) in Kubica's Janner context.Quote:

I also think that he should be faster in Sweden, but he wasn't. Some crashes were predictable. Other side before first off, he was faster than Evans slower than Meeke it was resonable pace.
He couldn't be fast on surface he never tried

It is not completely the same. Ogier was lucky in some moments, that VW is so strong car. Robest was on Janner close to crash almost on every second corner. This is the biggest difference between both drivers - Ogier knows what he is doing and has the car mostly under control. Kubica is going on the limit and is making lot of mistakes.Quote:

kubica was this year only once on the limit, on the last stage of janner rally, sweden is just lack of experience, i must disagree with that statement that in janner he was close to crash every second corner :D far from it, as I said, he pushed only on the last stage, and you could see that on onboard, he was a bit lucky, but there's a saying that the better one has more luck, ogier is far more experience and definitely currently the best driver, last yer first erc rallyes was just a training, this year in the 2nd seasons' phase, in germany, france and spain, I think ogier would be the only one who we will be able to fight on tarmac with kubica, he already proved that in MC, tarmac is his surface, on on others he's learing damn fast.Quote:

Almost off again!!
why Ogier 2nd on the road?
Have you seen pictures and videos on Janner? He was close to crash on lot of places. And he was pushing almost whole the rally, last stage was over also his over limit...Quote:
