No he wasnt....

If its money worries Petter has, he could always do a Guy Willks and sell shares of himself to pay for a WRC drive!

Yes, and neither is Petter's car if he will get Ford.

From whom would he be getting it then?

I guess there will be an indication in Rally Irland, it will be very, very interesting to see Atkonsons' pace there! If one should assume that the things he have said about the C4 is correct, he will be very, very close to the fastest drivers - and where would Petter be, on Loebs' level?

Wilson has nothing to loose. If Petter is not so fast what's the problem? In any case he is faster than other paying privateers. I wonder how Petter's presence could prevent Hirvonen or Latvala to beat Loeb.

I guess that the only reason why Wilson wouldn't offer Petter the best possible car is related to his egoistical tendencies, in other words irrational bias to show or believe that his "chosen ones" have been the best possible choise. Overally Malcolm gives impression of smart person but in ego-related issues he might be little stubborn (as the case of his son Matthew shows)

In rallies like Ireland or Monte Carlo Atkinson used to be faster than Petter with last Impreza. In my view Atkinson could realistically beat Sordo in Ireland but because he has had only one test-day in the car it's probably too difficult task.

How fast Petter really is? Some people here seems to think that Petter has lost his touch. I rather see that Petter's little regression during last year was related to his mental problems and unconfidende with the car. When the new car came in it seemed to me that Petter was generally ahead of Atkinson. In my view there is every reason to believe that Atkinson is as fast driver as Latvala and Hirvonen. The impression that Petter has lost totally his touch is just illusion that is created by Subaru's poor performances. Obviously last year Petter was not at the level he was in 2004 (the fastest driver on gravel). But I guess that with competitive car Petter is likely to recover from his slight regression.

It can be things like contract issues, or Petter is not willing to pay what Wilson want or what ever as well.
