Or push the works guy to make an error, I dont think that would be so good either.

Well I was watching F1 and from what I know it is not allow for teams to make decisions that interfere with drivers placements, wonder why the FIA don't apply the same rule for the WRC.

Interesting to see Aava in Finland.

Yes maybe they would, but they are not doing, agree, I wait to see how he will do in Finland too, last year he did very well first time in a WRC.

That's a penalty, not policing (http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/police, definition 4).

In F1 where all action takes place in front of TV cameras all the time, it's much easier to detect if someone suddenly slows down in benefit of someone else. But in WRC it's almost impossible to get caught.

Never issue an order if you can't control that it is will be carried through.

And Sordo even faster on split 2 !!!! :eek:

Maybe Aava is a new Duval :)
