I do not agree Rallyper,I think Kimi's main challenge will be to actually finish a rally.
I don't like about him that he needs pure simple rally kilometeres
He has done 3 rallies and now he want to play on the top level??? Even gentleman drivers rally for a few years before getting in a top car or top level
His final season!Quote:

Iīve seen similar thing with Mattias Ekstrom. I think on his first rally in Mitsu EvoIV, he drove almost as fast as the best ones in a Super Cup rally in sweden. I think it was back in 2002. Seeing him at that time you couldnīt belive he was a beginner.Quote:

Hope he does,my friends watched him at Rally della Marca last year and they said he was spectacular but on the limit on every corner.He is pushing way too much and selfcontrol comes with expericence ;)
The win of World Rally Championship.Quote:

I really hope that JML has a solid start to the season and he could be fighting for the championship lead during mid-season. Tarmac rallies will most likely cost him some points and therefore he becomes the second driver in the later half of the season. This is, for me, the most realistic option.
Or then Mikko and Seb fight for championship so hard that they both suffer "many" offs and retirements and JML sort of steals the championship win. I can already imagine how everybody would be saying "Yeah but he's not a real champion to me, he just won because of others had bad luck bla bla bla..."
i think the first 3 events are very crucial for Latvala if he manages to survive and be on podiums he may turn out to be a contender because the speed is definately there, but if continues his unstable performances and starts crashing again then Malcon may hire another driver with deep pockets to do the job.
You can be serious too, NOT! :pQuote:

But no matter what - just if my mental health stays liveable during the season - JML is definitely my favourite driver.
He will be clear second driver, its desided long time ago already.Quote:
