I tell you guys I don't mind these things but Pons went way over the line there, and I'll always remember him for it, SWRC champion or not :down:
If I was his co-driver I would have handed in the timecard at the stop line, undone my belts, got out of the car and walked away!!

But the person i was responding to who endlessly complains and degrades and ridicules virtually every driver in the world is waht is called in English slang a "tard' so i was concentrating on the "too", see?
Idiom sometimes isn't exactly the same, and 'trop tard' could in this particlar context translate as "too late"---since he wasn't addressing if he was s-p-e-a-k-i-n-g s---l-----o-------w-------l--------------y, but "when' the instruction came.
¿Claro?

Why NOT? Only fair.
But yeah at least he's not of the Block-brigade so that's something (not too sure what, but sumpin)

If you really dig into some other onboard videos from different competition level you'll see some rare footage showing codrivers getting treated worse, like the codriver being scream at through the entire stage after he made one mistake and the driver driving erratically in public road afterward.
I'm not surprised the fact that so many people quickly assume it was Pons with the level of pre-judgment been thrown around. Also its more about what the camera caught than what really happens. I for one didn't like what Loeb said in the interview after Daniel called 'plus plus' instead of 'minus minus' in Japan 2007. Overall I like drivers/codrivers in rally, what mentioned here are certainly still not as crazy as whats going on in F1.
ahhhh... Gigi!
'putain de bordell' for those non-francophone forum members translates literally as 'whore from a brothel' equivalent to the common UK english usage of 'you worthless tart'.
Mnsr. Ogier has been filmed this season giving Julien seven types of crap over some perceived error :)
