Was it ever going to be any different?
Where did you think up that pile of s***e?Quote:

Good idea, but make it five so those unemployed could have their own competition and show who´s still the best. I´ll bet that for the last stage there would not be anyone left!Quote:

You guys are sad. When he crashes, you start to put Petter immediately to replace him. But when he wins, you suddenly are all sugar and honey. The guy is now 3rd in the rally with one crash. And there are still someone behind him, like Petter for example.
its called human nature....Quote:

There should be a thread like this created for every single driver in the WRC. That way when a driver crashes, people can go there to bash the driver.
Time's up for Loeb.
Latvala crashing wouldn't be a concern if he didn't do it so damn often.
Do you also know when to wipe out that stupid and biased grin from your face ??? :dozey:Quote:

Noooo dear!!!Manufacturer-wise he is second!!Practically the second in a row 1-2 for Ford!!!Gongrats!!Keep like that!!! ;)Quote:

Seriously, why should WRC fans have to be subjected to substandard factory drivers in an age of a 2 manufacturer dominated comp.
Are there really only 2 drivers worthy of no 1 status and a shot at the title??
IMO there are plenty of drivers on the market who could have outperformed these clowns and made this years title far more interesting.
WRC is a joke.

He needs to do a whole event without making a mistake, which hopefully he can then start to do more consistently.
Guys who're paying their seats shouldn't be in works teams.. It's not right. He had to be fired from Ford but then somebody show up and payed that boycie can drive to the rest of the season. But now Mr Wilson sr can show his emotions after his outings (from road)..
How long has Latvala been on the go now? 6/7 years driving WRC cars?
Wilson forgive him, but only after Sordo, Loeb, Novikov, Henning, Petter all had their problems and/or went out.
One minute MW is saying it the work mistake ever, then when he scraps a 3rd through others misfortune, he is redeemed. What ballocks.
The FACT is the JML is PAYING for the seat, and Ford would have to PAY for Petter to drive the car. Petter would be an very obvious choice if they want somebody to bring point home on a regular basis, but its not going to happen, purely becuase of money. I sorta getting tired of MW trying to be a drivers physcartrist, rather than just hiring and firing them if they dont perform.
JML is vfast, but he is a bombscare.
Funny how it's always JML's mistake but others misfortune... :rolleyes:Quote:

Well, comparing to the other paying drivers, Latvala is a proven winner despite his mistakes. Also, age is still on his side.
You must be watching a different WRC than me.Quote:
