Not that bad?

He's 6m30s behind a guy driving his second ever event in a world rally car (the same car, I might add)

I am sure he will be better on the other events, but I don't see him "making wonders" either.

Evans actually had 2nd time on SS3, well because of his tyres, but that also counts.

I tried to say that Mikko needs guys who cheers him up a bit. No undertakers neeeded...
Evans doing fine. But Mikko will be ahead. And yet the old lady hasn´t sang before it´s over...

There are expectations on a no1 driver in WRC team. He has not performed at all in years. All we have heard are excuses. Sorry if we are just realists, why cheer someone you have no apprecation for. If you are a fan, go ahead a cheer and wait if a mirracle happens.

So why are you on this topic at all?

Landing yet another full season in a "factory" car, I think he already has all the support he needs.

To be well and truly honest Mikko's performance has been an embarrassment. I seriously questioned why Evans got fulltime drive this year but maybe i should have been questioning why Hirvonen got a drive. Terrible despite it being Monte. Pummeled by Bouffier in same car tooo :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

Hirvonen stopped in last stage of Monte Carlo. The hoodoo on Ford at Monte Carlo continues.
Could he get a Finnish shaman to do their thing on the car before Sweden?

This thread is twenty two pages long for a reason. If I were Malcolm I would have taken a gamble on Hanninen for a full season.
