There would be nothing like going back to good old logic.. like picking the best drivers available for the job in hand. Mikko and Petter would be title contenders.

aah, im not so sure about that, petter would be 40 something before he gets used to the car.

Whatever JML may become he is an awful No2 driver which is what he has been meant to be to the Ford team this past 2 seasons

Really is there?, I can think of only 1, Atkinson, its a pity that there still is no britton who could reguary finish in top 5, the seat would be his long time ago, for sure.

You are not going to draw me on that Tomi. Wilson has his own agenda when it comes to British drivers.

He doesn't invest in home talent like Citroen.. he would rather 'invest' a pertcentage of Finland's hard earned GDP in Finnish drivers.

A British driver will get his chance in the near furture.., and slap it up Ford is its with another manufactuer.

Hmmm, I know you have a problem with Petter but he only scored 6 less points than JML this year despite missing two events and driving an old Xsara most of the year.

And Petter was faster in both events when he was driving C4. There is no slightest doubt about Petter's ability to sweep the floor with Latvala. I also reckon that Petter would be at least match to Hirvonen. It also has to be reckoned that starting from the second loop of the second day Petter was only marginally slower than the top-two - occasionally as fast.

Not really with Petter, but its true i dont like the bull and whining, his fans seem to think he still is on the edge and has problem to see that thats not the case, LOL, a month something ago some even did speak about him winning in GB, and how GB is his best event, truth is that he propably would have finished in same position even with the Xara.
Also better to wait until he has a works seat, then the talks about how he beats who ever or is even with who ever becomes relevant, until that, its normally right after the start the cars fault if he cant keep in pace, or even more funny, he is not used to the car, ok there is drivers and DRIVERS, the DRIVERS does result even with limited testing.

Latvala is wasting a manufacturer seat.

Aside from IRC champion Kris Meeke you mean?! Kris' biggest problem is his surname because Matty Wilson is a joke.

At least he keeps it on the island when "learning" the car.
