you complain that Kubica doesn't have M-Sport specs for his car and then you say that about Evans, who outperformed Kubica in almost every rally last year?Quote:

Powerstage is so low and so close to the sea that i do not expect any snow there, Turini stage should be also half without snow and maybe less than half snow covered. So, be prepared, not much wind, but will be quite normal that there is -10 degrees in the morning :-)
Teams were testing in very wet snow, I think they should have been consentraing more on ice and powder kind of snow.
I will tell more when the time is closer

Hahahaha your funny! I probably know and forgot more about this sport than you will ever know!!Quote:

Elfyn has grown as a person in the past year, really come out of his shell and realised his potential. He is a very humble and down to earth lad who knows he can't just expect everything to be given to him on a plate. He spends a lot of time at M-Sport with his engineers.Quote:

That's why I don't understand how people could compare Evans with Bouffier. Bouffier has lack of experience in a WRC events. He made only 6 rounds in a 4WD car. Someone said that Bouffier is older, but who cares? Some people in the past were saying something similar about Marcus Gronholm at begining of 1999.
then act like you know all this stuff and not like some nobody old man with no accomplishments in life...Quote:

Bouffier in WRC would have been good in 2013, since then he never got his speed back to this level
We have didn't see the real potential of Bouffier in 2014. He drive in the Hyundai in the testing modus. Maybe he get some more miles by M-spot, so we see more of him en can better judge him.Quote:

Bouffier may not had too much chances to show his skills but the few he had he didn't show any potential, second place in monte carlo last year was due mainly to a right tyre chioce on Day1 but you are not a great driver if you know how to chose tyres.
these were exactly your words : "As for Evans, you have to remember that last year was his first year in a WRC so he can't of been expected to set the world alight...I'm sure messers Loeb and Ogier had a steady first few seasons when they started!!"Quote:

so if you are all that you claim to be get your facts straight...
I rather had Kubica in my team then Evans. If the wrc would be full of evans like persons I never watch a rally again.
I am glad loeb is driving. I would like to see petter again. Maybe those guys are above 40 but those guys have charisma. Kubica gives the viewers spectacle. Evans is a guy which will not say a word wrong because he is just a part of Wilson msport factory. Same as almost every f1 driver with media training nothing is coming from there own mouth anymore.
You have drivers to make a team around them. And you have boring drivers who are just an extension of a gearlever from a car.
Ogier also was close winning on his first season and won on his second... Evans showed ecouraging pace on tarmac but nothing more... lets hope he improves this year.Quote:

Evans pays and does not deserve anything... he pays for this opportunity and he better do something with it otherwise he can quickly become the laughing stock Wilson was.
Stop whining, start wanking re malaka!
I disagree, I appreciate humility if you are a 26yr driver in your first full season and you concentrate on learning rather than teaching.Quote:

The price of a wrc is 600.000 euro that s no learning tool anymore!
Evans must be paying otherwise they smoke weed at Msport:)
Latvala and many others disagree with you. and the price is far less than 600kQuote:

lets talk about Loeb/Ogier it will have much more fun.
What do you predict from him? What position will be a good result? what position will be a bad result?
How slower(or faster as i saw from pickems) do yoy predict he will be?
First answer i want from NOT.
And who sould be there instead of him?Quote:
