He lost by 2 points to Atko. But I don't believe last season's points tell the whole truth. The situation was much easier to Atko who is not used to winning than to Petter who was more frustrated.

2007 Petter did very good stage times at times but was not consistent. In my view Petter lost little bit during 2008. In terms of stage times only year 2008 suggests that Petter's personal speed was not at the sharpest end (style of Loeb or Grönholm). But I guess 2008 was only temporary regression (caused by frustration and lack of trust to the car).

Thats entirely your own view, so please do not use "we". Nobody else have expressed this view, and I sincerely dislike your tone against swordsman. It`s not the first time you`re on a mission to "arrest" a fellow forumer. I really think you should leave that to the moderators!

I actually believe that Atkinson is more talented driver than for instance Hirvonen. If someone compares Hirvonen's and Atkinson's first years in Subaru there is no question which one was better (Hirvonen was even more experienced at the time).

I agree. Most here didn't have the chance to follow Chris' ARC career and he really had a great attitude and style when he was there, with better equipment he will do well I feel.

From that point of view its easy to agree, but Hirvonens bad preformance at Subaru has a lot to do with the thing, that he was not the driver choise that Richards wanted, he was Subarus choise.

Both subaru guys (petter and chris) become way better drivers in those bad subaru years. Why? If you have bad car you need to go over limit to compete, and now with proper car both are closer to loeb then hirvonen. just my thinking

Hirvonen is a nice guy, but come on he hugged Loeb in JKLA after Loeb beat him on home soil. OK shake his hand, but I think Sebastien knew then, and always that Mikko will be no threat to him ever again.
JML is another matter.......... IF he can stay on the road. I think Petter in a Ford will be a closer challenger to Loeb than Mikko, but I suspect Malcolm will not allow that.

Why do you affirm Petter IN A FORD ??? :rolleyes:
