latvala's crash in Col de Turini
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8cz0GpUPWUg
The top of the Turini was rarely so tricky and slow. We understand now better driver's words.

Just a stupid mistake. He is pushing in the wrong time. Everyone is backing off. But mister Latvala ...Quote:

Yes i know that, i`m just saying he couldn`t do anything there.Quote:

He could not know what actually the damage is from inside. Why give up so easily when the car is still able to move somehow. Better reach the end of the stage and then try to repair it - remember Ogier at Spain 2010. This is (or at least initially used to be :( ) the spirit of RALLY.Quote:

If we compare Monte Carlo with the other events, it has an enormous advantage. Scheduled to be the opening round of the Championship, which has happened almost always the rally has been part of the calendar (I believe 1989 was the only exception), means that rally fans have been waiting for the rally for months. At the first rally we can see the teams' new signings as well the new cars, as happened this year in the Monte with the Polo. There are few things we like more than a new rally car (maybe only those girls we saw some pages ago :D ). If you add the unpredictable conditions of the stages and roads that have been used in a rally for more than a hundred years, we have the perfect recipe.Quote:

It is not the first time that Citroën should do illegal things in the Rallye Monte-Carlo, remember the 2002 edition.
In MotoGP they cancel or shorten the races only when there is a Spanish rider in the first position, as example see the Malaysian event in 2012.
In F1, they even don't race in the rain in the past years, so that is not a real sport anymore for me.
Ouuussshhhhh! That was heavy impact. Could have happened to anyone... Thjough I don´t understand you guys putting "Like" on that one. Maybe because the clip was up, hopefully not because of Latvalas´unluck...Quote:

So did some others except Solberg who went off and some crews from down the field. It was really extremely boring to watch.Quote:

I agree with this. But his adrenaline was very likely too high for rational thinking, as you mentioned.Quote:
