[WRC] Rally Finland 2022

Remember how these two rallies were supposed to fit Breen really well and he was told to "throw caution to the wind"? It's a disastrous season for him and the team.

Of course M-Sport was not testing in Finland and it was not helping, but Breen must handle the pressure if he wants to continue to drive on the top level.

Yes and seeing Milliner mad at him is like, but you told him to go for it.

Because if this doesn't happen, Ott's salary would tax team's budget to a degree that might endanger development and testing. Ott and Breen are in opposite ends of salary band, after all.

Didn't he say he would never do that ever again? However, that's the only solution I can see.

Rovanpera got away with the hit on the SSS in Estonia and going off the road today. He said himself he was lucky.

If you make a mistake there is an element of luck if there's a rock there or not.

The bottom line is that Ford has to pay for a top driver if they (MSport) want to seriously compete with the might of Toyota & Hyundai.

But why is that every time Ogier, Rovanperä and few other top of the top drivers escape and the 2nd tier drivers usually get cought out?

If it was the other way round you could still ask the same question. This helps to define top and 2nd tier drivers.

Top tier: Loeb, Ogier, Rovanperä
2nd tier: Tänak, Evans, Neuville
3rd tier: Lappi, Breen, Sordo
Ford Puma tier: the rest

As you can see, this is not that hard

Yep, quite a crap reaction. Tell him openly to push then be angry when he crashes.

At the same time Fourmaux crashes out on second stage and Milliner says only that it was a shame...
