Time for a fine for bringing the sport into dispute?

Well, rallying is not only about winning stages.

of course is not but still the reason we like it is speed...not cruising.

Hirvonen will deserve the title if he gets it since he hasn't done anything illegal... but i doubt in the future when we talk about rally champions we will include his name in it. Burns for example i think was remembered more about his 1999 and 2000 season rather than his 1 win title in 2001.

As i said...there is no way for Hirvonen to win the title this year with his attitude...the only way he does that is if he collects it from the garbage.

I'd say that if Hirvonen wins the 2011 championship, it would be more a matter of the others losing it than he winning it.

You can not too much cruise in rally. Someone faster will simply beat you :) Ofcourse it is a theoretical oportunity that all crews can go on 50 km/h and wait untill someone crashes out, but in this game the speed is required naturally. Without any rules.

That brings us back to the similarities of the 2007(?) F1 season. Just like Alonso/Hamilton, (the two sebs :) ) I think Ogier would prefer raikkonen(Mikko :) ) to win rather the championship rather than his team mate (If you get what I mean:cool :)

Interesting idea :) Maybe. But I say that he is Citroen driver at least for the next two WRC rallies.
