Chris Patterson having some difficulties reading all of Petter's information-filled notes today. In the day review in Finnish MTV3 MAX channel there was Petter's onboard and I immediatly thought that there's something going on because I could clearly hear and see notes lagging behind. Petter then yells to Chris "COME ON!!" and one corner after Petter nearly goes off because Chris is 1,5 corners behind on the notes. Petter then yells something like "where the f*ck are you going?!?" and Chris replies something like "I really don't know!"
Then on Four Ways Crychan stage Petter spins on that junction. Atleast to me, there's some very weird word mix-up/ reading misunderstanding for Chris and he stops the notes for just a fraction of a second but that seems to be enough because when he gets to "double tightens" Petter has already lost it. Maybe it wasn't the reason for the spin, but watching the onboard I got the feeling that something wasn't quite right.
Not blaming it on Chris though, IMHO Petter has waaaay too much stuff in his notes. Seriously, listen to them, they're insane. There's no person who could comprehend that amount of audio-based information while prosessing the amount of visual info what you get while driving...
Do Stobart have no interest in getting good drivers in their cars?
They have no hope wilsonm and now another no hoper?
True.. I seen Chris been very late quite often, calling the note as they are in the turn. He takes too long breaks/starts too late to read on the places with a lot of details. Petter does have a lot of stuff in the notes, but it's not impossible to read them though, Phil did without problem and with great rhythm. But it's strange why they haven't fixed this, as it's quite obvious this has been an issue for some time. Really Petter's responsibility to make them practice and improve this, but who knows if they tried or not..Quote:

Petter 4 secs down at last split
Losing "a bit", yeah... 0,6 behind after fifth split. Its a titanic fight. Look at the other drivers splits!Quote:

With only the 2nd run of Resolfen and two 8 km (rather pathetic) stages, I think this ones for Loeb. 6.7 seconds is too much of a loss on one stage.
